If it's on Wikipedia, you know it must be true.  :rolleyes:

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Explorer:

Epiphone also produced an Explorer Bass (there has never been a Gibson Explorer Bass), with a set neck...

All right, you Explorer owners, fess up.  ;)

A couple of months ago, the Wikipedia entry on the "brown note" was temporaily edited to claim that a certain German bassist/Gibson collector had discovered how to produce it.

Right, Chris?  8)

there has never been a Gibson Explorer Bass except for the hundreds of 32" scale models sold in the 1980s, including one model that featured a futuristic piezo pickup in place of the traditional pickups found on the other models

BWAHAHAHAHA! Good work, George!

"with a set neck, unlike the bolted-neck construction used in the Epiphone version of the Gibson Thunderbird bass."

Doh! :mrgreen:  Should read "with a set neck, just like the 34" fitted neck on the Epiphone Explorer bass".
