Gibson BFG

[Low End Bee]

Hmm.

I quite like this. Apart from the rubbish Ikea knobs that is.

Why is it called the Big Friendly Giant?

Dunno what to make of that. Don't like the finish. 3 pickups VVVT + kill switch is an interesting setup. Only 20 frets, boo (although I understand that room has to be made for 3 pickups). No front markers, don't like that. Agreed that the knobs look out of place, especially given that shiny kill switch.

Overall no, not for me.

I really haven't been waiting for that.

Why can't Gibson make nice basses?

[BigRedX]

I think it stands for badly finished guitar...

Exactly - I'm waiting for a victory reissue


If you know of anyone selling one in the future then let me know

Opinion: If the Grabber and Ripper reissues are anything to go by then they'll cack up the Victory too. I'd trawl eBay and find an original one in the states being sold by someone who isn't an obstinate, obstructive fool when it comes to posting internationally.

When the day comes I can't play mine without sitting down, I'll think about it

Bass For Gits? That's one ugly bass in my opinion, whatever team designs the new gibson models has clearly gone insane, or gotten their kids to do the work for them...They've released so much crap recently!

I like the finish. Reminds me of a python boot.

[Pow_22]

pickup position/style reminds me of my bison
