gsgbass Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 [color=#1C2837][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]"Ashley" plays and sounds better than the EB 2014 I played in a local store. An amazing overall sound. Lows, Mids, and Highs sound fantastic. The neck is very comfortable, and fast. Good job to Gibson. I don't miss the Fender Jazz bass that the EB 2014 replaces.[/size][/font][/color] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/w5HKlan.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Congrats on the new bass, am very envious, I really like the look of these. I saw one in the flesh, so to speak, in a music shop in Dublin last year (so the 2013 version) and they are stunning. Gibsons publicity for them really doesn`t do them justice, they look awesome. Just a shame the shop was about to close or I`d have had a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 These really are nice basses. Quite a few tonal options with the pickup split/tap. Easy to play. Great looking too. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgbass Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 If players payed attention to what every Axe expert out there has to negatively say about every other Axe, no one would be playing anything. Thanks for the kind words gents. I really am getting attached to this EB 2014, as well as the other two Axes I have. Gibson may just have a very playable bass, if enough players get a hands on play of the EB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
