Not a Gibson, but it sorta belongs here ...
« on: April 20, 2023, 07:37:05 AM »
Have you guys been aware of this here:



https://www.session.de/products/rock-n-roll-relics-thunders-bass-black-heavy-aged/?cpkey=3-AgUI2Zg1i_JBXilNMostLgORCbaB5ABoMHCEhVo1_y0ym3GDimLY2oolP190t_4j8jDwYZZhV_E4jJbe_aKg~~&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxYOiBhC9ARIsANiEIfb0rDuYWOyuR9obyZq07vND9mMenFyXkjcij0NkFH7OczNhItUXB1AaAqriEALw_wcB

A guy named Bill Rowe (ex-Jetboy, the 80ies Californian glam band) is behind these. I'm no artificially aged instruments guy, but if it rocks your boat, then these seem to be well-done - and pricey!

Yes, they've been posted before in Other Bass Brands, probably been at least 2 years ago. Nice looking shapes but I hate relics.

Jetboy? Never heard of them.

You didn't miss much. They were landfill LA rock (though stemming from initially San Francisco).

Landfill - how appropriate. There was tons of landfill around during that era. The few bands that weren't unfortunately got lumped in with the offal.

I was kidding. I had definitely heard of them.

They've done some reunion shows. This is from 2019. They sound as good as they ever did  ;D

Even I considered them as relatively obscure!

 I have no intention of ever growing up or acquiring good taste in music = I like Jetboy  ;)

That's a very good quality and rare Def Leppard demo, Mark, thanks for sharing!

Ah I see why I missed that. I must have thought that was just another Kiss topic, bound to derail into the Ritchie Blackmore trap.  ;)
