The new limited edition of The Gibson Bass Book is here
« on: May 09, 2020, 09:48:23 AM »
Some of you who are on Facebook may have already seen it, but I'm pretty excited to let you all know that the new -limited- edition of The Gibson Bass Book is available!.
Some newly discovered basses were added, such as the Bunny Brunel Signature Bass and the 1959 Explorer. Plus of course the ones that Gibson released after the first edition of the book was printed (in 2016). The Epiphone chapter was extended and there is a spread about Orvilles and Kalamazoo. And there’s even a spread The Heritage!
So here it is: A brand new version of The Gibson Bass Book with 204 pages full of Gibson bass guitars.
More than 85 different Gibson bass models are featured with unique photographs and descriptions.
Hardback Deluxe edition. Pages printed in full colour on Machine Coated paper. The page size is 210 x 297 cm (A4).
Only 100 copies were made.









Each book will be hand numbered and signed by me.


And I have added something else to the store!
You can also order a stack of 100 postcards. 100 different postcard of 100 different Gibson bass guitars.





Available now @ https://www.thegibsonbassbook.com

Nice, Rob! I'm not on Facebook, so this is the first I've heard. Are left-handed models considered unique enough to be featured in the book?

Glad Dave let me post it here then ;-)

And no, I'm afraid I haven't featured any left-handed models in the book. They're basically the same as the right-handed ones.

Maybe I should mirror the entire book and make an ultra limited edition of 10 Left-Handed Gibson Bass Books  :mrgreen:

Sign me up!  :mrgreen:

I totally understand that. For me, the left-handed Gibson Thunderbird in 2013 was a dream come true. I'd always loved them and wanted one, occasionally considering finding a Tokai, but never followed thorough. Then 2013 hit and I grabbed one and it's pretty much all I've played since.

Really cool!

If I wasn't irrationally anti-paper, I'd order one.

Congratulations, Rob.  :toast:

Will Uwe now be prodded into buying that Gibson Bunny Brunel that's still up on Reverb?
