Three shall be the count.  The count shall number three.  Having counted one, and two, then, in the fullness of time, thou shalt proceed to three....

No idea who they are. I'm old. More power to 'em though.

I thought the Cribs were around about ~10 years ago, with all those indie bands?! Who knows. The signature guitar has been posted up on the Offset Guitars forum for a while as it was first spotted in the Instagram feed for the guitarist.


I thought the bass had been around for a while, but it seems to be getting a boost at the moment. Maybe it isn't selling well, or simply spent longer in Beta than expected? Who knows... basically a medium scale P bass that recycles the Bass V body.

They may have been around 10 years. I'm out of touch.

Seems like all Fender bodies are eventually recycled.
