I can't remember if we have ever discussed a Gibson Q80 or Q90 with piezo pickups like the Shadow Explorer, but I saw this posted elsewhere today and thought I should share:

Yes, Uwe has a piezo Q90 in white. The one in the pic you posted is also a Q90, you can tell by the headstock.
-
Yeah, I looked at Rob's book and saw the difference in headstock shapes. I don't remember seeing one before but I can't say I'm surprised to hear that there is one in the Kollection.
-
It's been years since he posted a pic of his, and since his photobucket is over limit I can't find it. Maybe he'll post one from wherever his pics are hosted now.
-
I still have, but - irrespective of Photobucket - no pic of it!
Those don't sound half-bad, the Shadow Piezo gives a less "plastic" tone than you would expect.
-
Do you even remember where you parked her...? ;)
-
I can see her from my office desk!!!

Is it white? I could swear you posted a pic of it once, maybe as part of a larger group photo.
-
Yeah, it's white turned yellowish/ivory. I've only seen white ones of the piezo version and they were always fretless (with fretlines), but there were probably at least ebony fin ones as well as ones with frets.
-
Too bad Tom and I didn't take pics of that bass when we shot the entire collection. Was it there that weekend?
-
It was! You largely ignored my 80ies monstrosities!!!
No, you didn't, you put those WRC Silly Purple & Red Clown Basses in there! :mrgreen:
-
And the regular Q80 and Q90.
And the 20/20...
:mrgreen:
-
All those Holy Grails of Gibson's output! :mrgreen:

When I win Powerball and buy Henry out, I will bring back the WRC clownbass prototypes as well as the 20/20.

2020 20/20 Reisue!

In case you do... a 20/20 with built in overdrive, matching Pelham BluRay player, and a Heritage Cherry latte (licensed by Starbucks) would hit the spot! </lifestyle brand jokes>
Serious question, though - were the piezo Q90s also 32" scale (ala Explorer), or long scale?
Slick looking bass!
