harvey1-8 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 'Gibson bass' has to be one of my most used searches on ebay and most of the time I get the same old results. But not today...

Bassassin Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Victory Artist FTW. Had serious GAS for one for a while, you really don't see many. Shame there was never a JapCrap copy! :brow: Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Been speaking to the guy with the Q-80, I am 100% sure its my old one. Hes asking a bit too much for it though, I would say its worth between £400 and £500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 2 out of 3 of those hurt my eyes. The G3 looks OK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the links I posted; the Victory does it for me the most. I'd like a Gibson Ripper over all of those though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Google eb650 and eb750, i love these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The G3 is the only one that is more my tastes, the first two are a bit too 80s for me. I perodically do EBay searches for Rippers and Grabers but I'm just window shopping really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) there is also ONE super 400 bass fretless, custom shop piece, think someone on talkbass owns it, among his huge gibson bass collection.

neepheid Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Anyone who likes a good solid sounding and different looking passive bass would be happy with a G-3. I know I'm happy with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon1964 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Victory is fantastic - have aways had GAS for one of these, although I've no idea what they sound or play like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Gibson have made plenty of nice basses provided that you don't want a fender clone with Gibson on the headstock (which seems to be what people who don't "get" Gibsons want). personally I'm glad that they have the courage to do something different when so many bass manufacturers don't.
