Oops... I did it again. 2016 ES Les Paul Bass
Grog:
I tried not to buy it, but when a reduced floor model added a 15% discount, I caved. I'd been eyeballing a blemished gold one at MF for a while, but I really wanted a sunburst. Chicago Music Exchange had one marked down, I called to get a better description this morning. Told him to box it up............. This is the first short scale Les Paul Bass that Gibson has produced since the Hobit was discontinued. Plus it is light! I hope it balances well. Has anybody test driven one of these? I should have it possibly Tuesday. I bought this one for $2,035.00.

What a beauty. I really love to try one of these but never found one
Grog:
I've never tried one either, taking a gamble.............
Pilgrim:
Hope it works great for you! Too pricey for me.
Grog:
I thought it would be too pricey for me also. I retired last January an assumed I'd have to find a cure to my GAS problem. Looks like I had a relapse. The main thought is having a light short scale Les Paul bass that I should be able to play for years to come. Also, not many Gibson basses have all of the features that their six string brothers have. Not that it will make it play any better. It might be a Hobit II.
