To answer some questions, it's a fundraiser sadly so I'm gutted to sell this.
Regarding its likeness to a Gibson it's very close but more so the 60s ones. nothing like the half assed ones gibson are putting out at the moment with fretboards made out of nutmeg or whatever they can import this week...
I have a couple of 70s T birds which are not as meaty. It's basically a sixties T bird but imagine no neck dive more articulation and a ridiculously playable pleked neck. Light and resonant. You can't put it down.
That said you can also get quite modern super jazz tones from it. Some settings had it close to a sadowsky and a nordstrand I had. Just use the front pick up and it's a meaty precision.
It's a really versatile bass which you can even slap on.
And it would seem its also quite a looker.
Don't get me wrong, I love gibsons and I've had loads but this is a chance to have something that is a Gibson with all the problems fixed.
In the same way that many manufacturers now make jazz basses which improve on Leo's first attempt.
