Congrats! This bass has been on my "short" list for a while... it may be time to pull the trigger.

They’re still on the Gibson site , but I’ve heard rumours they’re discontinued .

If they’re still on the site, I would have to assume that they’re still in current production. That said, all the supply chain issues these last couple of years might make them so difficult to obtain that they may be defacto discontinued

This bass fits nicely into an electric guitar gig bag.

So glad I picked this one up at CME in the limited TV finish. These came with the chrome pickup cover and tortoise pickguard.
What a fantastic little bass with flats.
View attachment 4650196Bridge cover is just sitting on the bass. I ended up not installing it.

When did these come out?

These basses always caught my attention ever since they were announced. I just wish they were available in long scale.

When did these come out?

‘19.

Bummer I missed that boat.

They’re still available…not sure if ‘21 was last year of production or if they’re continuing. Three years is a pretty long run for Gibson and a tribute bass like this.

I guess I looked in the wrong place on the CME site?

ZZounds has a blue one and says the other colors ore on back order. Sweetwater is taking orders for them but doesn’t have any in stock.

Why would Zzounds and Sweetwater have these in the CME exclusive edition finish?

Or did I miss understand that this finish, pup and pick guard combination is available anywhere?

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. I thought you were talking about the model in general and not that specific color.

Relieved to hear some retailers are still expecting new stock !

It is my favourite too.
The playability and tone are really great.
That neck though... just gets me every time. I love it.

I had read some comments on how light these are for some people.
I thought I must be a wimp because mine doesn’t feel light to me
I just weighed it and mine is 8.45lb.
Seems I got a heavier one

I love mine.
