Gibsons upping production!

[ThinCrappyTone2]

Well it's a Gibson...Buy an SG Bass and give it month, it'll be headless by it's own doing

I walked right into that one haha

 

[two fingers]

They are only upping production so they can discontinue it later

I feel like my first wife used similar trickery.

Higher production numbers may just make it easier to see a good one sticking out like a sore thumb.
Or not.

Ever noticed how Gibson players all want perfect fit and finish and Fender players pay extra for a worn and scarred finish? A marred Gibson is worth considerably less, unless celebrity owned it seems.

I started out on an EB-0. I've always wanted an EB-3 or EB3L, just never got around to it. Maybe one day...

Both of the other Gibson bass fans on Earth will be THRILLED!


Just a joke. Glad something you like is coming back around.

As much as I take jabs at Gibson, I do really want them to be successful. I want them to make great instruments. I always make it a point to try them out when I can, but man, the good ones are few and far between.

 

[Microbass]

Oh baby. Get me a new model G3 or Grabber that nails the original tones with a solid build quality and aren’t a complete rip off I am in! Although based on the Gene2 TB I’m assuming the basses will be ~2k’ish.

I’m a short scale fan , but have an SG and the Jr . I prefer the Jr despite the cheaper finish . They put the pickup in the right place , you have the simplicity of two knobs , and it’s just a gorgeous sounding thing . And lightweight , comfy , it’s fun to play !
And I’d love to see a shortscale Tbird too , even an Epi Pro version !

The short scale Thunderbird is a nice bass. They only did 400 of them. A prior owner had mine refinished.

Just dropped in to cover the Gibson-bash...

 

[Hektor]

Having been an owner of many Gibson guitars, if the quality of their basses is anything like their guitars, I'll stick to the 1000 other bass manufacturers out there... Warwick seems a good place to start..

 

[MCF]

Gibson now has 5 basses in production! I have yet to read any reviews on the g3 thunderbird, but the non reverse thunderbird & the les paul jr have been well received! I have a 2019 les paul jr, the bass is killer! This new ceo is taking gibson in the right direction! Bring on that shortscale thunderbird and another run of the eb bass!

They’re recovering from the mess the last CEO made. They’re trying.

 

[Jughead6]

I hope Gibson brings back the Victory bass.

 

[Sam Dingle]

Just waiting for a Gibson reissue of the Les Paul sig (the Jack casady bass)

 

[higain617]

I wish they would bring back that Grabber 3.

As much as I take jabs at Gibson, I do really want them to be successful. I want them to make great instruments. I always make it a point to try them out when I can, but man, the good ones are few and far between.

I absolutely want them to be a factor in tue bass world too! They aren't for me. But the more players in the market the better it is for us.

They’re recovering from the mess the last CEO made. They’re trying.

Having followed Gibson for the past 25 years, the new CEO is making the same decisions and mistakes as the old CEO.

If you need proof, here is a condensed version of it:




If not even worse mistakes:








Oh, and if you think I hate Gibson, think again. I have owned 8 Gibsons, and still have 5 of them and love playing them. So I am a fan, just not of their BS...

 

[jpmcbride]

I'm into it, except there's not a single Gibson bass that's not a neck-diver.

Les paul dc junior has no neck dive.

 

[Low Down Brown]

I feel like my first wife used similar trickery.

 

[zubrycky]

Damn, Gibson! Give me a diode equipped Jack Bruce EB-3 bass!

 

[jd56hawk]

I hope Gibson brings back the Victory bass.

If Epiphone came out with it, I'd buy one tomorrow.
