335 Bass

Yes, we've been waiting decades for them to bring back the 335 bass! 

Sounds good. I wish some of these demo guys would dig in a little harder, but whatever.

Yeah, he clearly doesn't know Gibson bass history!

I wish some of these demo guys were good bass players. I'm sorry, but too many times it sounds and looks like guitar players doing bass demos, and it bugs me.

I must say I wasn't floored by the sound. But that was only the neck pickup. I would like to hear the bridge pickup solo'ed, and both. And some pick playing. In short, I would like to see a professional demo.

I think the demo gives you an idea - sounds LP Signature'ish to me, surprisingly piano ringish for neck pup mode only.

[copacetic]

Ditto on all four previous points! Looks are good and neck profile definitely make it my book. Might like to trymitmput with some nickle flats for a deciding factor.

That guy who does the demo of the bass is using a pick at the beginning of the clip. He also uses the front and the bridge pick up. Look at 0:24 when he use the Toogle-Switch to select the Bridge Pick Up.

I agree that it is not correct that we've been waiting decades for it but IMO it's a updated version of the EB-2 not a reissue.

The only problem is that I want one of these so bad!!!

Reissue will be there in a year.

At least he's not slapping and popping the hell out of it.

I agree with all!  Get an experienced bass player and one who doesn't slap the crap out of the bass!

I was at the local Long And MacQuade on Saturday to rent an acoustic bass for a set we are doing in January at the studio owner's home.  And there at the back wall was one of these in Black.  Sharp indeed.  Edgier look that the ones with binding.  Priced at 1999, par for US dollars.  It was one of those that I wish I could buy, but it would see such little use with the music I play.  It was a fun bass, sounded great - I prefer everything dimed, but never had much time with it.  Bit of minor finish issues where the board meets the body, nothing I'd fret over  - pun intended!!

L&M has em you say. ... just another reason to stay away, don't need the gas.

So you're Canadian Blackbird?  Where abouts?

I'm in Halifax.

L&M doesn't have them listed, this kinda just popped out of nowhere by the sounds of it.

Shouldn't that be where aboot, eh?
