The Last Bass Outpost

Is that the 32" TV Jones pickup LimEd?

People who never played semisolids like a Guild Starfire or EB2, often don't realise how deep the body in the middle is. The sides may have a P-ish thickness, but you have domes at the back and front. So the middle part is so much deeper than the sides and that's where the center block is. A guild Starfire (or EB2) isn't a light bass at all! Same for similar basses as the Hagstrom Swede, Warwick Star Bass, etc.

Talking about AI. Maybe if Gibson starts using it, they can really come with the basses the players want.

I have an idea for years, but I first have to win the lottery. One of my dream basses is a one pickup Tbird, like you made for mr. Laut. Well, a reversed one then. I'm also a big fan of semisolids, of the JCS, and the Tbird.

A while ago I visited a guitar shop which had some Trini Lopez sigs and a Dave Grohl sig. This sunday I saw Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer playing Trini Lopez sigs and I love that Firebird headstock on a 335-ish guitar. Not sure about the diamond sound holes though.

But the lottery bass is a Brooks semisolid, with an EB2 style body, two piece bridge, Tbird headstock and I guess one Tbird pickup at the middle position. Maybe an idea for a mock up to see what it looks like.

I have the Nonrev for around a month now. I got it out of the case and I saw this. When I looked at an earlier pic it was already visible a bit.

To be clear: The bass lives in it's case in a room with a normal, steady temperature. The case lies flat, and there was nothing on it. It's not near a heating device. The bas is strung with factory strings in the normal EADG tuning, and I never tuned it in another way.

Gibson offered me to take it back and I'll get my money back, which I will accept. A pity. It was a demo model I bought at the artist sale, so cheaper than normal, and I won't buy a complete new one.

I agree with mr. 4stringer77.
