A Gibson Custom Shop Acoustic Bass in Super 400 shape, fretless, medium scale and with a passive piezo. Built in 1999 by then Gibson master luthier Phil Jones. Spruce top, EXTREMELY resonant, no sustain block, feedbacks immediately at higher volumes (not good for unplugged sessions with drummers), but sounds like a dream in the studio. A one off model possibly for a NAMM show. A magnetic pup model in L5 shape was also built around that time, but I've never seen pics of it (Phil has confirmed to me though that he built it, but has no clue of the whereabouts).
