Not a thumb rest. It's a tug bar.
Squier needs to edit their ad. The paragraph calls it a thumb rest. The bulleted list calls it a finger rest. You call it a tug bar. I call it something that needs to get out of my way! I like the boat thing, though.
I could do without the decal, but other than that, it looks good
Both look good to me too.
If it wasn't for the boat thing, the 12th fret inlay, the jazz neck, and the tort guard, basically everything that defines it as her signature bass, I'd be all over that.
I have one arriving today. Will report back.
Your right Hrodbert. They are discontinued. My bad. I was reading an article in Bass Player Magazine and it showed this bass, which made me think it was something new........I guess I need to get out from under my rock a little more
But yeah, that's why I found it interesting, it looks like a great bass at what was probably a great price new
Let us know what you think @lowdownthump
I think these were another case of "the bass that got away". A good bass for those looking for those features (which is quite a lot actually) at a very reasonable price. Granted, not many people will know the name of Ms. Gardner, but it is a solid instrument none the less.
I have a home-brewed version, a black & chrome P-Bass Special that I swapped out the pickguard and bridge on. It is my favorite bass among my collection. Solid player too, just as I imagine the EG signature edition was. I'd say if you can find one, grab it. And you could probably do so at a steal of a price now that they are discontinued.

I have never heard of her, but apparently she has some family in the business.
There was even a thread going around on another forum talking about great women bassist and there was not even one mention of her.....she's got chops though!
It's a nice looking bass. The 12th fret inlays are not my cup of tea.
She's endorsed by Ampeg and has been on their FB posts a few times. Guess she plays with Pink and Gwen Stefani maybe. Don't remember.

I've only seen one person play with a tug bar. When they did a walking jazz bass line there was a noticeable (at least to me the bassist) delay playing the E and A strings and then jumping an octave over the D string to hit a note on the G string.
Horndog post right out the gate! Yay TB
