The Official Made Exclusively for Guitar Center Bass Club

I’ve either had a few or still have them.

The first was a 2012 Ibanez Soundgear Bass. SR 500 PBBBF. It stood for Poplar Burl Brown Burst Finish. Here it was.


The other was a 2017 Ernie Ball/Music Man Bongo 5 HH in Barolo Metallic Purple with a Roasted Maple Neck and Black Hardware. Here it is.

 

The Bongo 5 HH is a 2017. I’ve only had it for slightly over a year.

I edited my post to show its model year. I forgot to do that before. I think they were also exclusive to Platinum Room Guitar Centers only. Or at least, that’s what the GC Manager told me.

 

Here's the bass that started the whole idea
Dean Zone XM 2

Made in 2010 with a 34 scale length. Metallic Black finish. Love the way it plays!

 

I'm excited to see what other GC exclusive basses there are. With them being in business 59 years, who knows how many exclusives we're made. Next year for 60 years, we may see quite a few even.

 

Always got to represent!

 

Cool idea for a thread. Funny enough both of mine were GC/MF specials and I think they’re awesome!

 

I don't have one, sadly, but Steinberger made 25 silver XL-2s for GC only back in the late eighties or early nineties.

 

I bought this 4001S from them, it was one of 50 made by RIC for GC's 50th Anniversary.

That pickguard is beautiful. Any more info on it?

 

It's a silver lava guard but it was on the body when I acquired it. I'll try to remember the website I've seen them on.

Edit: Try this: Warmoth Custom Guitar Parts - P-Bass Pickguard

 

I've seen the champagne room in a place called Platinum, but I've never seen a guitar center with a platinum room.

I think both of those basses are amazing. Being a lefty, I will never be able to join your club.
