'Givson' bass body.


Recommended Posts

It took me a while to join the dots, but I think this is a Warmoth body design.  They were certainly selling this shape a few years back and I'd never seen it anywhere other than their website.

 

If anyone does pull the trigger, be warned, from memory it had a very quirky scale length, somewhere between short and 34" longscale, so standard necks would require getting the chisels out.

 

Maybe one for that guy.  🤣

The description on the website is priceless. 

 

(When I read it, the voice in my head was that of Apu from The Simpsons and now I feel like I've committed a hate crime...)

many moons ago when I was bumming round india with a backpack I was an extra in a bollywood film, playing a guitarist in a nightclub scene

 

the guitar I was given to strike my best pete townshend poses with was a Givson - it was like trying to play a cheesegrater.

 

if memory serves, the other guitar on set was a Fenda, although I didnt get to manhandle that one
