The main thing is its a different shape than Krst's main Gibson bass from the Nevermind era. (although i am pretty sure it plays a hell of a lot better: )


and all for $2200;(or when its gets this side of the pond £1500) :)

(yes I will admit to hating Gibson for no discernable reason whatsoever. The bass looks ok id like to hear one but whatever it sounds like it'll be too expensive for my DHSS skewed tastes)

It's an old (70s?) Ibanez, so probably a better bass than a modern Gibson! I think Krist had a few of them, one had a bit of the headstock snapped off.

I used to love those basses when i was a kid, obviously a bit rare and thus out of my price range though.

I thought that it was going to be a Ripper before I opened this thread.


I really like the RD body shape but for me that style of headstock doesn't suit it at all.

The RD I had (a '77 Artist) looked even odder because it had small Gotoh-style enclosed tuners, original Gibson branded ones though (and no other tuners had ever been fitted to it) but they made the headstock look even longer and out of place.

Stunning looking basses but impractical for 99% of the songs i played!

Isn't the bass he's pictured with an ibanez?

Yes, its an Ibanez 'Black Eagle', they were also produced under the Antoria brand name too. Been on a constant on my GAS list for quite a while.

He didn't exactly cherish any of them other than one Gibson that he used to put safe before smashing up something else moments later, +1 should of been a ripper.

This one got it's own back. :)

Good luck finding a black eagle. I've never seen one in the flesh, or for sale, not many were made I don't think. Im an eagle lover too!
I dont understand the pickup choice though, krist was all about proper Gibson buckers as per the ripper and RD basses. Also surprised it's not a ripper shape. Not that I'm not stoked that it's an RD!

big want!
but for the moeny id rather buy a secondhand RD Artist.
and i wish they had made it 34 1/2" scale, as it was. not 34 "

Krist used a standard ocasionally, which he put some jazz pickups in.
