Gibson V Bass

[Dave W]

I haven't found anything from Gibson yet but I did dig up these codes:

BAV4NABC1 Gibson Bass V-bass 4 string Natural
BAV5NABC1 Gibson Bass V-bass 5 string Natural

which led me to these links without pics (yet) at a couple of European stores:

V-bass 4

V-bass 5

Alfasoni's price including VAT is 3200 €, compared to their price of 2340 € including VAT for the 2015 Thunderbird. All I can say to that is wow.

I only have a very bad drawing of the V.

[LoEndMaestro]

Silhouette anyone?

[LoEndMaestro]

Chris P, is this the "bad drawing" you were referring to?



I was intrigued, but now I'm just mildly curious after seeing the 4K price tag!

[Blackbird]

That looks like a Lakland..

That looks like a Lakland..

Yup...

[Chris P.]

Yep, that 'drawing'

[Dave W]

With a $4K price tag and nothing but a description, you have to wonder why these stores even bother to list it.

The actual bass may turn out looking nothing like the line drawing (or the Flying V silhouette).

  Am I ordering one?!   

[uwe]

You just might!

On that sketch at least, it does look like a bad mutation of an EB though ... And those were already some ugly mofos, never mind Minnesotan minority opinions.  Why does Henry J test my faith, love and devotion thus?  It's been 75 years since that little border incident we had with the country of his origins.

"Chambered maho body, AAA maple top, stunning appearance, three-band active circuit ..."

It's been a long time (Lee Sklar Signature) since Gibson has ventured near anything with a battery basswise.

Patient be we must.

[TBird1958]

Oh, "that little border incident"   

[Highlander]

Mock must ye not...

Au contraire! You're forgetting this active gem! You already have one of them, don't you? 

[uwe]

That was totally uncalled for, David, and you know it!

[Highlander]

Et Tu Brute Dave...?
