I'm not going anywhere near the BIN, that's for certain. The fact that it is another short scale one, intrigues me. I can't really think of a bass more unlikely for short scale than an Explorer, yet here we have Gibson producing them as short scales both in the fifties (the original ones), eighties (my replica) and now this in the nineties (which seems a little like the replica of the replica, it certainly has more to do with that than with the eighties regular line models which were only medium scale too).
I've bid now, let's see where this goes. Those two Model Gs should pretty much roar. I've always been on the lookout for a really nice Gibson fake that is lovingly done, at the very least it might qualify for that.
