new bass porn

I've had it with those wanky Fenders...got wind of these ES-335 long scale basses coming out of Gibsons artisan shop in Memphis..had to have it. These pics are from the place I bought it but they are the exact bass that I received yesterday. I'm putting the Fenders and the Michael Kelly on ebay tonight. Nothing like a Gibson.

Thank you. Plays like a dream, sounds like a Thunderbird. Fit and finish is beyond perfect.

Sweet looking bass and love set necks. At the gig two nights ago I played my Rob Allen (another f-hole beast) pretty much the whole night.

Gives the guitar/bass a more soft "woody" electric sound.

Correct. This one goes from that to TBird bottom and growl in a few twists. It has T-Bird + pickups.

It was at NAMM (I wasn't) and is being put out by Warwick... If I wasn't recovering from my guitar addiction I would be tempted...
