Cool Indian Four String Bass...

[BurningSkies]

Ok, even I have made fun of Givson basses...most people don't even want Gibson basses...(obligatory inflammatory comment)...

But this one's actually pretty cool. Check it out:

Cool shape, interesting layout and it's a mahogany neck with rosewood (one would assume Indian as that's where the brand is from) fingerboard.


Linky.

Cool be a cool project bass or funky back up bass for someone looking for a nice but different looking four.

Kind of reminds me of the Warmoth Z bass but a bit more exaggerated.

 

[BurningSkies]

Reminds me of the BC Rich Wave basses too...

head looks like a strat!

I wish the pickguard was a little curvier on the back side, then it would look a bit more together to me. I still like it though.

Too bad I don't do fours or straight frets anymore!

[lunarpollen]

and I quote from the website:

Why Givson Guitars are supreme mellow tone​

• The body of the guitars are made of seasoned wood.​
• They have an accurate and soft touched Fret board.​
• Best quality raw materials are used in manufacturing.​
• The instruments are made by experienced technicians only.​
• Quality is maintained very strictly.​

I approve. I'd rock it.

Yeah I was checking that one out, pretty cool. Not something I need to buy, but I like the look of it at least as much as I like any "real Gibson".

I find it rather ironic that Givson warns on their homepage to "beware of imitation."

Dig the crazy holograms!

Any of you actually played a Givson? I don't know about current models, but the ones I played 6 months ago were all POS.

Look, don't let tone or quality or action or any of those other unimportant factors be an issue with our discussion of this fine Givson.

Controls look like a Strat.

(N.B. Fender made a Tele bass, and they made a Jaguar bass. Why did they not ever attempt a "Strat bass"?)

Well of COURSE they were "point of sale." I mean, aren't all of them?

Probably had an agency from Taiwan do their website.

 

[Pilgrim]

Givson?

Would that be the musical equivalent of "Yugo"?

 

[sohamorrohit]

I live in India and trust me, Givsons are well below Squier Affinitys. You'd only want to buy one if you just CANNOT spend more than $70 on a bass.

 

[Temcat]

The G.B. King with its odd PJJ config surely looks cool.
