If the Gibson 3-point bridge is supposed to be just fine, I have to wonder why they're using the same bridge I put on my Jack Casady bass.

Not seen that colour before 👍🏼
Not easy choosing between these two.

Too bad Epiphone doesn't come out with a version of this one, but hats off to anyone who spends $3,000 for the Gibson.
Other than that, are they joking with that pickguard?

I’ve always admired players (there aren’t many) who have just one bass, they know inside out, and use for pretty much everything. So many of us have multiple basses, and I wonder how many of them you can truly get to know with so many choices?
There’s something very cool about having just the one, and learning how to make it work in all situations.
What happens if that one bass has an issue when you need it the most and you leave your band mates without the foundation you usually provide?

A mistake or purposeful misrepresentation, there has been ample time for Fender/Gretsch to respond to the bass community.
That they have not done so, leads me to believe they're trying their best to come up with a plausible explanation that will basically amount to bs.

Beat me to it.
Nothing else comes close!

Wouldn't take one in from the cold if I found it on my front porch Christmas morning.

Agreed though I do have a natural finish P (rosewood fingerboard)which looks like it matches the headstock which is good too.
Sure, I'd definitely be happy with this one.

Those ridiculous tooled-leather pickguards.
Sure, just a mod, but so hideous I wouldn't even try out a bass with one.

Unfinished headstocks.
Absolutely ruins the look of a bass.
With a maple fretboard, no problem, but with rosewood,, ebony, etc?
Looks like crap.

The P bass in Australia?

I prefer Glowtech.

I have two USA-made G&L L2000s and a Reverend Thundergun...among the best basses made, but there's just something special about my Italia Imola.

Luckily we have Epiphone.

Just bought this, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the signature.
Wouldn't be caught dead in Calvin Klein jeans or Yeezy sneakers, etc.

Never really considered one of these in my eight years of playing, though I've owned a number of Epiphone Thunderbirds.
Took one for a spin last week and discovered I've been missing something special.
(Hipshot Supertone 3-point bridge and Magma black tapewounds.)

Eleven basses, three are twins, two are close.

This question comes up so often, and the debate never gets resolved.
The sad thing is, it's often best to think outside the box, and I'm not talking about Musicman, G&L, Ibanez, etc.
Reverend Thundergun, still the best-kept secret in the bass world.

A Hofner is probably a terrible choice unless they want a specific sound and are happy with the limitations of what can be done on the instrument. What sort of music does she like to play?
True enough.
Same goes for an EB-0.

The OP decided to go with this.
First bass I currently own that I actually played before buying!

I remember that YouTube demo of an early one, and had been wondering if they had sorted out the preamp and shielding – really pleased to hear it's all good now
I wish the issue had been addressed.
I really wanted this one.

Especially since they used the Babicz on Thunderbirds before.
