Great Bass!

by Jay Genske from Fond du Lac Wisconsin
December 10, 2012
Music Background: Professional musician - bass player
Been playing 39 years and have owned many great basses. As far as this goes it is as good of bass that Gibson has ever manufactured. If you want the phat thunderous sound that Gibson basses are famous... read more [+] for this is the bass. I owned a mid 70's LP Recording and I believe I like this one much better. The neck is more like a Thunderbird neck as compared to the very narrow neck of the 70's version. This bass is a great playing and sounding instrument.

I think the only things I would change is I would like to see a pickguard on the instrument. And the older basses had an engraved nut cover. I think this would give the bass a little more class. I also wish Gibson would sell their instruments with strap locks like Fender does. close [-]
