There must be a bass somewhere in this vid ...

... so it's fit to post here ...

I was alerted to this Gibson marketing jewel by a fellow member here who was concerned about forum rules (do we have any?). He shall remain nameless, just like in an imaginary Western, the man was at a crossroads with more than a spoonful of hesitation, but he wears the badge of the LBO proudly.

This must be Henry J era marketing.

Not everything Henry did was bad!!!

They could have gone with a more guitar-centric soundtrack, but the visuals were good.

I do like your evenhanded, carefully weighed and thoroughly balanced view of things! A rare thing in this age of blind partisan agitation in the echo chambers of ignorance.

No toppling of Henry J statues in Nashville yet! The man who withstood environmental dawn raids and floods singlehandedly, a legend in his own time.

It does leave one standing with attention.

We do have a no "girls with basses" thread rule but that's to prevent the tasteless crap that went on at the Pit way back when. This is an actual marketing video.

The Dean Girls may be past their expiration date but they're miles ahead of this when it comes to marketing. Would this convince you to buy a Gibson if you were hesitating? I don't think so!

This is definitely Henry era, from about 10 years ago. Henry probably thought it was a genius move on his part.

He probably thought: "Youngsters will sure like it!"

He had a heart for youth culture.

Henry was 10 years ahead of his time. Notice, though, that the name of that song being played is "infected Girls." Still, I'd take the Gibson girls over the Dean girls--unless, of course, it might mean being exposed to C-19. When it comes to something like that, obviously, all bets are off.

Must have been his heart b/c his head was up his ass.
