What would you like from Gibson?

[overdrivethree]

Another vote for NR T-Bird. Although I'd be content to just see Epiphone do those, since they have a really nice line of guitars that are a far better value and quality than Gibson overall.

 

[aquateen]

A Moderne bass.

somebody else thought that would be cool, too.

A 35" Explorer in a 4 and 5 string setup might make me consider selling a kidney.

 

[KJung]

A long overdue apology for the Ripper, the Grabber, the EBO, and the Les Paul Recording bass.

 

[Barkless Dog]

A modern version of the RD Artist with updated electronics and a lighter weight, thinner body.

 

[Asomodai]

A proper reissue for the Gibson Grabber G1. IE, with MAPLE fingerboard. Set neck was a good idea in the Grabber II, but the 3 point bridge was awful as well.

 

[GM60466]

EB 1 or a real EB3 short scale re-issue

 

[wolfmancharlie]

I would love to see a reissue of the Victory Bass line.Same quality now as then,Same new price now as then.I bought my Victory for 800.00 new with a hardshell case etc in 1981.Today you would have to add 1000.00 for the Gibson logo and it wouldnt be half the bass.

 

[ThunderousFunk]

My money back

 

[pudgychef]

haven't read the thread but probably another vote for a reissue of NR T-Birds. Duh.

internet forum participation in a nutshell.

 

[jumbodbassman]

RD bass

 

[thumpbass1]

I'd like to see an accurate reproduction done of both Grabber series basses, and the Ripper L9S that aren't limited edition boutique priced models. If not, I'd settle big time for the Epiphone line to do it, if they would actually clone the originals as best as they could.

 

[stiles72]

An NR Bird built to to the Studio Bird specs
34" Explorer bass with T-bird electronics
A Mahogany Ripper
'76 "Bicentenniel Bird" re-issue
Overend Watts Signature Thunderbird II

..and Ebony fingerboards on the Thunderbird IV

 

[Handyman]

Quality control standards that are in line with their prices.

 

[Darkstrike]

This, with a maple board option, and an Epi option.

 

[darthplagis]

for me a NR T bird with a bolt on maple neck 5 string

or a nighthawk bass, that would be sweeeeeeeet

 

[hdracer]

Zoot suit SG Bass

+100000000 I would buy that in a heartbeat!

 

[kcole4001]

A Les Paul Custom bass would be cool.
The Victory reissue idea is nice too, but since they didn't catch on in the first place...
All only relevant if the prices wouldn't be so sky high, though.
I like Gibsons, but not enough to pay $3000.

 

[Burlington]

A bass that doesn't sound like a trombone.

zinggggggggggggggg

 

[rapturebass]

just two things:
Lower the price
Give your basses (and guitars) some damn balance!
