NBD: Explorer

[GCPENG]

I had my eye on this 2016 Epiphone Limited Edition Explorer for quite a while. It felt a bit expensive for the features, but it was kicking around the store for months, so they were willing to take a few dollars off and I took it home this weekend.

I’ll be looking for some gold strings, which I think will look pretty sharp.

 

[Davey28]

very cool!

 

[el jeffe bass]

Now THAT'S fantastic. Enjoy.

I have a 2001 Hamer version in black that I bought new. That style is very cool and plays well, just took me a little getting used to the top "V" sticking up under my arm. Yours is a beauty. Enjoy.

 

[TBird1958]

Congratulations, it's a great looking bass!

Try La Bella Gold Flatwounds! (Not to be confused with their Gold Tapewounds, which are also nice)

Wow nice! I always liked the way the guitars looked.

Congrats on your new bass! I love the one I bought a couple years ago. I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Cool bass, Congrats!

Sweet, best of luck with her. I LOVE explorer style basses...in the 80s I played a Hamer Blitz Bass in Red and Black Zulu finish with matching painted headstock, it was RARE, sold it about 7 years ago, wish I never did. Keep yours! Rock on.

 

[JRA]

it looks cool! congrats on your new instrument!

Looks good! My first electric guitar was a Hondo Explorer copy in natural finish; they made a bass version too.

With the natural finish, it can fit looks-wise in a lot of different styles, I think.

Definitely an eye catcher. And I like the gold strings idea!

 

[staurosjohn]

Love the look!

 

[JimmyThunder]

super beautiful.

 

[Fletz]

Good luck in your 80s tribute band! I’m kidding because I’m jealous

 

[LYNCHMAN]

VERY NICE!!!
