Surprise Gibson bass!

[uwe]

I do collect for shorter lower horns! With a last name like Hornung I have to.

Not a gold fan, but the shape looks nicer than the Standard version.

  Nice bass Bill! Gives me GAS for a Epi JC !

Al still has one for sale at a very reasonable price!

I agree Uwe, it's a nice shape for access and aesthetics.  The gold is growing on me as well.  One would look nice in the Fatherland collektion.

That thing looks really cool! Long scale with the mudbucker and mini 'bucker... Interesting.

Well, I have to say, it will be fun to play.  I never take my LP Sig out to play as its pickup is difficult to work with and the electronics on mine need a complete cleaning and I never seem to have the time to do it.  The switch is intermittent and the knobs really scratchy.  This new bass with do the trick when I have an LP Sig urge.  Which is right now....

I have to say that I've been struggling with 34" scale basses because of shoulder and neck issues, but at my last gig I played my j bass for 2.5 hours (I did this to please our guitar player who is a Fender bass fan and was driving me crazy about it) and did pretty well.  So, I'm not going to give into the urge to play only my ThunderJet and will work this and the 335 into my playing time.  They are great basses and I give Gibson credit for stepping up their efforts.

Nothing wrong with having one go-to bass. Nice to be able to give the others some stage time though.

I agree.  I will be working the Gibson hollow bodies into the gigs, and practice, more in the future.

There must be one in the Fatherland someday!

I was once told............... "Men are like a Rhinoceros, it's all about the HORN"! I Like it............ I wonder if they made a matching six string?

[Barklessdog]

Yeah, another bass for Uwe!

[neepheid]

Now to me, that body shape is much nicer than the 335 style.  To me the 335 style looks goofy and clumsy.  Never really liked it on guitar or bass.  Still, no need to indulge while I have a JC Sig.

Don't see a guitar on the website.  This bass isn't even on the web site.

I did forget to mention that I was told it's a special edition.  The 12th. fret marker has an inscription:  120th. Anniversary.  SHowed it to my wife and she loves the look.

Cool bass Bill.  Clearly I now need another hollow body.
