Gibson make believe.
« on: April 09, 2009, 02:19:36 PM »
A guy at the Swedish bass forum had some fun with Photoshop using the new pics off the Gibson website. Mostly bass versions of guitars but some of them are really nice I think. Don't know about those SG RI tuners though.

Yeah I saw those too a few days ago.

Wonder if he realised some of those basses have actually been built by Gibson?

He's pretty updated on the Gibson bass history. Some of those models are just variations, like the Epi Rivoli model. He named it Casino bass. BTW, he owns an EB-0F.

There are even people who claim him for Gibson President (or at least Chief Designer).

Kotzen. Just like that guitarist's (and former Poison member) name.

Nah Ken, ya gotta have the slipper headstock on an Explorer. Otherwise its just not an Explorer ;)   I like the minibucker idea though. Maybe they could use the modified Firebird pickups that the Allen Woody bass has for that model.
