Would you buy a copy of the Gibson Bass Book?

[bassballs]

I'm in for a book 

[Basvarken]

Thank you guys.
In the meanwhile Gibson Europe has contacted me. They are very enthousiastic about the book.
I'm having a meeting with them next week to discuss the possibilities.
Fingers crossed!

They'll probably say: "Gosh, we had no idea we built that many bass types!"

Better late than never.

That would be great, Rob.

I'd buy a copy.

[Stjofön Big]

I sure would like to buy a copy, maybe two. One for me, one for the Guitars museum http://www.guitarsthemuseum.com/static/sv/80/ which shows the fantastic collection of guitars, basses, amps, and a lot of other stuff connected to the electric bass(!). I'd like to give your Gibson bass book to the twin brothers who owns the collection, because they are truly, and heartfully, interested in everything that's discussed in these corners.

A Gibson book is probably considered a triggering event over there. TB is a safe space, after all.

I love this place...

My impression is that there's just as much anti-Fender sentiment by guys who think their boutique basses are far superior due to the fancy tops. A thin layer of diseased buckeye burl sounds so much better, you know. OTOH I haven't really looked around there in years unless somebody here links to a specific thread, so maybe my impression is wrong.

I think my myrtle burl veneer on the PC makes all the diff old boy...

Basseros remains at war.
The Fender lords maintain supremecy of the realm, but their forces are divided. The long standing enmity between the Fender lords and virtually everyone else, including closely related but lesser Houses- Music Man and G & L. Their forces were first reduced in numbers by significant defections of banner men to the modern Squier lords on the promise of equal quality at a lower price. Fierce battles were fought, some still rage as territory is hotlly contested. The Squier defectors now claim superior quality.
It has now become more complex and fragmented since the start of the Sire rebellion. Almost daily battles rage, as people scramble to find new superlatives.

this is my first bass forum, I only know the other place through the prism of your comments,
I barely have enough time to give this place the attention it deserves,
I will never go there

A thin layer of diseased buckeye burl, that just sounds so sexy.
