New LP Doublecut

[clankenstein]

i wouldnt mind tyring one,even if the body shap reminds me of a westone i once had.or one of those cheapy arias from the 80s.

[Chris P.]

it looks a bit cheaper than the sg because of the solid finish and no guard. yes i am at the messe already with this dutch brand and a bit for the magazine.

they should've used the same bridge as on the goldtop.

Thankfully they didn't. Three point is much neater. 

[the mojo hobo]

I'd say less. Not the same shape. The Monkey Bass has a longer upper horn and I think both its horns are more rounded.

That, and the Funny Money Funky Monkey bass is long scale and has a proper bass bridge.

And different pickups
And a figured top
And the cheesy $ TRC

But otherwise it's exactly the same!

It sits there like an anchor weighing down the bass.

Just another take off on the old EB0 with pups from another bass.  This just looks goofy.  If it had a dollar sign truss cover I would be happy.  Or maybe a question mark would be better.

Good idea. Then Gibson could sue ? and the Mysterians for trademark violations.

Their legal department is probably their biggest profit area.

The gold top looks stunning in the picture.

I too think the gold top looks stunning. The dbl cut  looks blocky like my genesis. I do like it but would have preferred the early EB re issue.

I am actually looking forward to my golden years, when I will buy both one of these things and the aforementioned Money - or whatever it was originally called - and using them as donor/experiment pieces for my own Doc Bass-esque creation.  For that I am grateful.  I figure some Music Go Round will have one with some extra holes and maybe a bumper sticker on there.  There you go.

Sigh.........................for me they blew it. I was hoping for a double cutaway like the early EBO.

I so agree.  Who the hell does their bass development research?

Blind guitar playing monkeys.
