And I thought someone with a Kahler and a Gizmo on his bass would be saturated with the toys of the modern world, domo arigato, Mr Roboto ...
Now I feel guilty! But I'll need your services sooner or later again, John, as Gibson seems to be on a release spree this year. When Scott mentioned earlier this year that Gibson would bring out a Junior, a new LP, a short scale TBird, a Flying V and an Explorer all within a year I thought quietly to myself, "you wish, brother". Now all these have come out or are imminent and we have the RD to boot. At this rate we'll have Victory and 20/20 reissues next year. A Victory with an SD Bass Lines split coil and a JB pup at the bridge - yeah, I can see that causing some turmoil here. ! - )
It occurred to me today that the last rally duff new bass model that Gibson brought out was actually a while back - the ill-fated and -designed SG-Z. And that was 15 years ago. Anything released after that might not have been a strong seller, but there wasn't a bad bass among them if you subscribe to the Gibson bass characteristics.
