I just bought a black Embassy and it sounds great. Here's hoping Gibson follows its "budget" line's lead.

Anyone spilling any beans yet?  It's only ten days until 2021.
The future I come from no longer exists.

... Which means only 375 days until 2022... :mrgreen:

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I sure haven't heard anything. NAMM is scheduled to start on January 20th and rumors usually start flying a few days before, but I don't know if it's going on as usual considering the pandemic. It's in California which is pretty locked down right now.

In person Namm was canceled. It will be online only. That's going to be zoom hell I imagine.

Hopefully, there will be some previews of new Gibson basses to see.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Thanks. Not surprising under the circumstances.

Scott has promised there will be something new, so I imagine we'll see a preview from Gibson.

I always was very easy with getting sectrets out, but as editor of a bass magazine brands are looking at me and they a bit more controlling.

I know one thing for now, I'm sure more news will follow, and I hope I can tell it soon.

Are you allowed to say if there's anything for left-handed players?

Thanks.  I assumed so.  I just have to make my own.  TBA.

Last I heard, they were still planning on Summer NAMM 2021.

However with more than 500,000 deaths projected by then, it seems likely to be canceled.

This THIS the thing Scott was talking about, or will there just be a whole slew of weird new Gibsons and Epiphones coming out?

No it's not the big secret that Scott is keeping from us.
This is just a Gene Simmons cash cow.
