New CME Exclusive Gibson SG Basses

Chicago Music Exchange just dropped two exclusive SG Basses in Pelham Blue and Olive drab. I didn't think I ever wanted a Gibson Bass but after seeing these…

Wildly cool.

That Olive Drab is gorgeous. If Gibson stopped suing everybody, and spent all that money supporting the music industry instead of tearing it down for a change, I'd be right on top of one of those.
Should go well with this overdrive:

Forest green is such an under-utilized color. I'm assuming in generally doesn't sell too well outside of limited runs. Both of those finishes are fantastic looking, really elevates the SG from the red/black that we're all used to. Too bad I'm not a Gibson fan.

I get so bored of seeing black, white, and sunburst basses - even though I own basses in those colors. I like seeing more obscure colors, and I think EBMM is the king of mass-produced color variety at the moment.

Thanks for posting. Really cool!
