I only see muscle.

And apart from that: Who says you can't rock with a nice gut?

Here's a couple with the band. My son is on guitar.
Apologies for lack of Gibson bass content, but my son is playing his mirror Explorer.

That is a beautiful bass.

Thanks. I'm pretty partial to it. I actually like the look much more in black/white than the transparent red myself (subjective, I know - I had another before that was unaltered). Also sounds GREAT as a fretless. I've considered fretting it but can't bring myself to do it.

It's what I ask every bassist in any Cash cover band I come across - why u no got Embassy?

Anyway, I think they look hot - classic and understated - in any colour I've seen them in.  The black is a refreshing departure from the usual cherry though.

I saw one years ago in San Francisco that was in the Epi yellow (Sunset Yellow?) - pretty much Gibson TV yellow IIRC - beautiful looking bass. Pity the neck was twisted on it though.

I hope all that mojo's original 'cos it looks ver' cool...

Me and the PC at a recent rehearsal... now presently dormant due to offshore commitments from the drummer, who took the pic...
