New Gibson Bass in 2013

[Crabby]

I took a chance and ordered a Midtown. Will be happy to post a review once she arrives. No ETA at this point though. I really hope its not a long wait!

Looks alot better than Fender basses. If there's a five string version, I just might get it.

I like the EB bass... I also love that Gold top Les Paul bass.

I've read this on "teh interwebz"...

The thing is called Gibson EBF... Features a Babicz bridge (the guy holding the bass is the owner of Babicz), and has the pickups of the new G3 bass, but wired together as a humbucker...

I don't know what to think of it!

Set neck. Completely mediocre. About $1,000.00. Any Ibanez smokes it. Nice bridge. The rest is....

I personally can't believe they'd bring that thing to market. They must think we're idiots. It's absolutely .......!

Any Ibanez smokes it.

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm not a big fan of Ibanez basses

As with anything else it's personal choice you either like gibson basses or you don't i personally like them and have the new EB 2013 bass and to me it's bada$$ and yes it was expensive thank god for payment plans hahahaha.

I have a wonderful Ibanez Prestige SR3000, and a new Gibson EB. They are very different instruments - and equally useful. The EB is about the same weight as the Ibanez, too.

I tried one of these the other night I didn't bother plugging it in cause I need to control myself but acoustically sounded pretty good, had a nice feel and weight it was $1000 I'd probably buy one if I found one for cheaper.

that's why my first comment thread said 'tried one'...

Totally mediocre, except in the looks department. Then, it's SPECTACULARLY .... Wishbass is it's only competitor.

And yeah, the comparably priced Ibanez SR 1200 E smokes it in every respect...as does a Jazz bass...

Cheers,
Cameron
