My colleague and I met two Gibson marketing guys. First a guy from England together and later on I met a guy from the US. For Basvarken! The American guy know Uwe. He told me some big Gibson news!!
- Gibson is preparing a complete new bass which will be introduced within some months. It's long scale, it has a maple neck, ash body and newly designed pick ups. The design is completely new, but sccording to the guy it has some style things in common with the RD, but it's definately no RD.
- Gibson comes with a non rev with a set neck (of course) and it's... ...short scale!?!?! 'Why?!?' I asked. Because it would be too big or something....
- I asked for a T-Bird woth chrome. He told me that normally it takes three days for the glue to harden for the body/sidewing construction. They found a new and faster method and they will bring out more varieties of the Firebird en Thunderbird in near future.
Wel, that's news, isn't it?
