I thought it was made of walnut! Would have weighed a ton, but been something different.

Now that's pretty, but I tend to like the natural look rather than most painted Tbirds.

 Okay, the wood looks nice.......It's just time for Gibson to get off their stodgey asses and do something fun, like metallic olive.
It's the best looking bass ever made and yet they do so little with it  :-[

Bassists will be riding in the back of the bus as long as Henry J. owns Gibson.

Hmmm... I dunno Dave.

Gibson has been releasing new bass guitars at a breakneck pace lately
I have the feeling they've been doing more for bassists in the past few years than they have in the twenty years before

I'd rather they slowed down a bit and did 'em right.  Sorry.  I've already ranted my head off about the gold EB.  Just awful.  It seems right now that Gibson are intent on testing my brand loyalty to the max, is that doing bassists any favours, because it's not doing me any favours, I can tell you that.

Tell me, do the Nasty Habits receive a tax break for offering a job to a heavily sight-impaired bassist and where does your guide dog go when you are on stage?  ;D

Those black pups and the matching hardware look great on that walnut.

Looks nice, but I'd prefer the old natural finish. What's that inlay at the 12th fret?
