I haven't found anything from Gibson yet but I did dig up these codes:

BAV4NABC1 Gibson Bass V-bass 4 string Natural
BAV5NABC1 Gibson Bass V-bass 5 string Natural

which led me to these links without pics (yet) at a couple of European stores:

V-bass 4

V-bass 5

Alfasoni's price including VAT is 3200 €, compared to their price of 2340 € including VAT for the 2015 Thunderbird. All I can say to that is wow.

Chris P, is this the "bad drawing" you were referring to?



I was intrigued, but now I'm just mildly curious after seeing the 4K price tag!

With a $4K price tag and nothing but a description, you have to wonder why these stores even bother to list it.

The actual bass may turn out looking nothing like the line drawing (or the Flying V silhouette).

You just might!

On that sketch at least, it does look like a bad mutation of an EB though ... And those were already some ugly mofos, never mind Minnesotan minority opinions.  ;) Why does Henry J test my faith, love and devotion thus?  :-\ It's been 75 years since that little border incident we had with the country of his origins.

"Chambered maho body, AAA maple top, stunning appearance, three-band active circuit ..."

It's been a long time (Lee Sklar Signature) since Gibson has ventured near anything with a battery basswise.

Patient be we must.

Mock must ye not...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Au contraire! You're forgetting this active gem! You already have one of them, don't you?  :mrgreen:
