Wasn't someone here looking for one?

These were $1229 in 2011, this one's $1125 shipped with a Supertone, maybe a little high, but there's a Make Offer button and these don't come up that often.

I always thought (applies to the guitars too) that they ruined the shape with the curvature in the cutaways.  I get that they did that for structural stability and ease of manufacture, but that shape is iconic and the straight line perpendicularly bisecting the neck is an essential and instantly recognizable part of it. 

Also they made it long scale so the GAS be weaker still for me.

It actually is shortscale so I just upped the GAS for you Jake.  ;D

Dave W

I agree with Jake about the curvature. But it is short scale. Come on, you know you want it, Jake. Just pop in a Model One like Scott Whitley did.

Omg you guys couldn t just lemme go on believing it, eh.  No use though, the shape thing kills it for me. I'd get Rob to build me one before I'd consider one of these.

Nice, Rob. Now if Gibson had made it that way, I'll bet it would have sold much better.

It's an easy fix if the neck joint shape really bugs you.

Nice looking bass, bu the only thing I've seen that is more plain-looking is an original Precision slab bass.
