I don't think there's a dedicated thread to other brands of basses that borrow some aspects of Gibson styling so here we go.
A Ripper looking bass with dual P pickups. Would have been nice to hear some clean tones in the demo although sound clip 4 in this video comes close.
I think almost the entire Brooks catalogue would fit the bill... ;-)
Yes of course. Brooks is the best and then there's the rest. Here's another one that doesn't pull it off as well as your basses do.
Did they name this one after a Police album?
Serek basses have a lot in common with Gibson

Rock n Roll Relics built a nice LP jr DC with Thunderbird humbucker and bridge set.

That LP is a thing of beauty. Serek has a cool vibe going too. Spector just came out with another T-bird shaped bass. Didn't Dingwall get in trouble for doing that? Nice enough bass from Spector but the PJ pickups are kind of an eyesore. Maybe that'll be enough to keep Gibson from suing.
Robin Baard of Baard Guitars makes many G3/Ripper/Grabber kinda basses.
No he makes an exact copy.
Does the Comboluxe fit the bill?

Angled back two by two headstock with M4 tuners and a Chrome T-bird pickup are a good start Brad. :thumbsup:
Bass solo at the CMA last night. The starfire with the single neck pickup comes close to mudbucker territory. Nice clam on the guitar at 3:19 so at least you know it's live. In honor of Dave, I should point out that this song has nothing to do with real country music, more blues rock really.
JT Cure sounds Fantastic...groovin hard...

Are you sure that was a clam? Definitely an "off" note, but I thought it was kinda cool. Maybe it was intentional.
That's a flat 9 or 2nd. Chris Stapleton played it, so I guess you could call it a bearded clam. ;D

That was a nice little bass spot. Sounds good too. A local music scene friend of mine is doing pretty well with his Chris Stapleton tribute band "Tennessee Whisky".
