EBS-1250

This looks pretty cool, but CME has always priced really high.

I saw that it's really cool. The video of it being played through a looper is worth watching. Sounds great.

That bass could cause some ramage! Who was Jim Ramage anyway?

At best, we can assume that he was a guy who paid Gibson to make a special guitar for him.  Even the guy from CME didn't seem to know anything more than that about him.

I'll bet that's it.

IIRC Uwe paid about half that for his doubleneck. Then again this is CME.

I like that demo- pretty cool

Did ya'll notice the 4005/6 lefty and Starcaster(!) bass?   

[Chris P.]

Wow!

[Barklessdog]

The only bass missing from the kollection.

Don't say that John, he'd lose all purpose in life and end up doing pro-bono work...

The guitar-bass combo has never attracted me so much unless it were a combo of 12 string and bass. I'm a better 12 string guitar player than I am a six string player, mainly because as a bassist I press too hard on a six string, but just right on a 12-string.

A fretted/fretless would be killer, with TB+ pickups under EB-style chrome covers.

How difficult would it be to hack two bolt-on Epi EB-O's and make one?

[uwe]

Not difficult at all for a good luthier, it's still a plan B for me.

There was a guy in Chicago that made a double-neck out of a pair of old Epis, a Wilshire and an Embassy.  It looked cool, but I've heard that the back was more epoxy than wood.

It could work. Obviously smaller tuners should be used.
