Huggy and the Bears Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) I have a Gherson Jazz bass that belonged to my Dad (no longer with us) that he bought new in about 1974. He was a pro player but used that over pretty much the choice of anything else. It has an ultra slim neck and a great sound - I can see why he got it and played it for 30 years. Anyway, this thing looks like it has been to Afghanistan and back and I'd be interested in aquiring another. Anyone ever heard of one? This is natural with pearl block inlays. cheers Simon.

Mickeyboro Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Had a fretless Gherson (is that how it's spelt?) Jazz which was my first ever bass back in 1980. Fancy learning on a fretless? It was solid but the action was miles high. Not that I knew it was adjustable! Never seen anything written on the brand so would also be interested. Long gone now, of course.

Bassassin Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 A 70s copy brand which was unusual in not being Japanese - Ghersons were in fact Italian: [url="http://www.fetishguitars.com/index/gherson.html"]http://www.fetishguitars.com/index/gherson.html[/url] I've seen a couple of Gherson J copies go through the bay, but never seen one in the flesh. Any danger of posting some pics of your dad's old bass? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
