Gibson Basses / Re: New Doublecut Junior Tribute Bass update

Even though it's short scale, the band loved the sound.

Will be playing in a large bar this weekend...hopefully it sounds as good as in the basement.

I have a 2013 EB 5 string, and yes, the tort guard is very nice.

I've had Emmylou's version for a zillion years...loved it and the band.

The lyrics never registered. Have to give it a close listen.

I would love to be in a band doing older country. I for one fondly remember growing up with Hee Haw on Saturday night.

Going to see a rockabilly band from the commonwealth tonight...they also do old style country. It is guitar, string bass, drums...they are a lot of fun. Called Slick Willie and the Kentucky Jellies. Bass sounds great and he slaps the shit out of it. With all the movement and twirling, sometimes intonation is funky, but it's a lot of fun to watch.

I loved Emmylou's music .  Saw Earl Scruggs, Emmylou, and Pure Prairie League a zillion years ago at the University of Cincinnati...

Was a fun show.  My favorite "Together Again" version...I have probably all of the older albums.

Tried it at rehearsal.

Sound is darker than my 2013EB...more fundamental, and somehow "less complex".

I liked it...will sound real good on a lot of the "rootsier" stuff that we do.

Classic red.  It's an EBO, basically. I always only liked the red.

Bass arrived...set up well after the truss rod was tightened...

I don't see what the fuss about the three point bridge is.  It's just fine.  Fit and finish are just fine.

So far very happy. Hope it roars.

I would be happy to pay an extra $100 for a case option, instead of gig bag

Why don't they offer a case?

Every time I use a gig bag, some part of the guitar gets destroyed...usually a pot gets sheared off.

The available bag is pretty sad, and not up to gigging. Otherwise it looks like a bass I could love.

I would like a Thunderbird someday...with new prices being what they are, it will definitely be used.

I actually just bought one of their less expensive acoustic guitars, and was amazed at the fit, finish and setup. Flawless.

Could the Montana factory have a different quality control system?

My last two Gibson electrics from Nashville, I think (one guitar, one bass) were not even close when they arrived, but with a serious setup were fine.
