I think Gibson needs to stop trying so hard

[McSpunckle]

I really like this bass. Been playing with the idea of making an RD style body to put a Jazz neck and jazz pups on for a few years now. 1200 euro seems ok for it too, not that I can afford one. Maybe a second hand one in a years time though.

I'm actually surprised there/this isn't a epi version...

It's still new.

Maybe they're waiting!

I was under the impression that all cowboys were in fact gay. You say they they aren't?

actually, the Gretsch name, trademarks, and designs are owned by Fred Gretsch, Jr., the great-grandson of the founder, who used to play in the Brooklyn factory as a little boy and who bought back the rights from Baldwin in the late 1980s ("it was a dream come true"). Fred Gretsch Enterprises licenses the designs to FMIC for production and distribution.

re: Epi version of the Krist bass: in 12 to 18 months, after they've skimmed off the big-money people with the Gibby model. they did the same thing with the Slash Les Pauls, and there'll still be Kurt/Nirvana anniversaries to capitalize on.
