ash Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Oh dear the vintage GAS has got me again so today I'm offering this virtually brand new, boxed and cased Gibson Midtown Standard. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/Midtown-Standard-Bass.aspx I bought it because for years I wanted an Epiphone Rivoli/Gibson EB2. Guess what? Less than a month after I buy this I have the opportunity to buy a vintage one! I got it from Thomann as part of their 'blow out' deal hence the low price. It comes with all the case candy and trussrod tool, I'm also including a very high quality leather strap in keeping with the vintage vibe of the bass. It's pictured wearing flats but I'll put roundwound strings on ( the flats are really nasty old ones that I liked for the thump ) if sold. The action is nice and low as I had it tweaked by my local luthier and intonation is spot on. I also had a thumb rest professionally fitted as it provides a more comfortable right hand position. It's in excellent condition as it has remained cased and smells of brand new Gibson! Construction and finish is top quality - it sounds fantastic and has a surprising array of tones thanks to the combination of thumping mud bucker and honky bridge pickup. I'm looking for a sale only and would prefer pickup unless the buyer wants to arrange their own courier. No offers - if the bass I want goes I will withdraw this. Cheers! Edited July 20, 2014 by ash
Tripehound Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Lovely - and they get great reviews. I have a P90 Midtown Standard and it's a fabulous guitar. If this is anything like it'ill be top notch.
ash Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1404935408' post='2497206'] Kin hell, Ash - another lovely bass from you! [/quote] I'm only selling because I've seen a vintage EB2 and that's been a dream bass of mine for years. Sadly no bites yet - plan B is to 'pimp' it with black hardware replacing the mud bucker with a a Model 1 Dimarzio plus a Grabber pickup at the bridge!
