Another bass RI

[drbassman]

I was chatting with Kurt at the HOG and he said Gibson is gonna come out with a 335-archtop style bass (aka EB-2 in the old days).  Should be interesting to see if they actually do it and what the price point will be.  I'll post again if I get more info on it.

If they do it, I'll bet it will be a lot more expensive than the Midtown.

This will trigger a ten page thread exchange on the necessity of a baritone switch!!! In bakelite of course, with the period-correct amount of early sixties US atmosphere radiation contamination of course, otherwise it won't be a true reissue. NOS bakelite lovingly aged in the Nevada desert.

For sure!

Did anyone here get a Midtown bass?  I just bought a six-stringer and I love it!  It's a fantastic guitar.  I missed out on the $799 Sam Ash blowout, so I had to pony up another buck and a half, but I still think it's a great deal.  I bet they'll start blowing out the basses pretty soon.

It's only 50's vintage New Mexico bakelite if it glows in the dark!

Bill got one, or did I go nuts...? (hmm... don't answer that) ... no doubt Uwe has one, or the Lady is on route...

I was thinking of building one from scratch!  Waiting on this report instead.

I always get confused where you did your little 4th of July national security fireworks, some place with N, forgive me.

Hmm... What's this to the left??? Midtown with dual LP style TB+?

Looks like what's in the Flying V. Supposedly new design, but sounding and looking to me like TB Plus chromies.
