Gibson has offered to use their office on the 10th floor of the A'dam tower in Amsterdam, for the presentation of the book.
Awesome location.
I'm pretty excited.
We haven't set the exact date yet. But I'll keep you posted.

Hmm... Jackie's just asked me if I'd like one on the Christmas list...? :mrgreen:

When do you think the books will be available? Before Xmas would be good.

Must be getting close to release?   :)

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. I'm a late in life Gibson bass fanboy.

Yes, indeed!
I'm expecting to receive the books from the offset printer this week.
And I have the website up and running. www.thegibsonbassbook.com
So you guys can place your orders ;-)

On december 13 the first official copy will be presented to none other than Rinus Gerritsen of Golden Earring (he recorded Radar Love with an B-3).
The book presentation will be held at Gibson Europe headquarters on the 10th floor of the A'dam tower.
