TransistorBassMan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Not a Precision, not a Jazz, not a Mustang, not a Jaguar. Looks a little like the Bass V [url="https://www.thomann.de/pics/bdb/379669/10707928_800.jpg"]https://www.thomann....0707928_800.jpg[/url] [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_sq_gary_jarman_signature_bass.htm"]https://www.thomann....nature_bass.htm[/url] Edited February 8, 2016 by TransistorBassMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 That's pretty horrible. Fender should just have gone a bit further and made a JagStang bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Not for me. I had to Google Gary Jarman too. This exerpt from Wikipedia made me chuckle: "In 2009, on very short notice, he played bass with Franz Ferdinand during two of their shows supporting Green Day when bassist Bob Hardy forgot about a wedding he had been invited to" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I quite like it to be fair. No idea who the bassist is, maybe squire will even do a Sig bass for me soon... Bet they won't do it lefty though so no point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The design process was probably similar to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I've got the first couple of Cribs albums, which I like a lot. I suppose their biggest claim to fame is that Johnny Marr joined the band for an album & a tour. Pretty surprised Gary's got his own signature model though, although they've been touring internationally for years, maybe they've got wider appeal than I realised?

Musicman20 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The Cribs are a legendary band in the indie scene. Good enough for Marr to join them for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ryan has a signature coming out too so I assume it's on the same basis as the matching Biffy Clyro sigs from a few years ago. The Cribs are pretty huge; it won't surprise me if they turn out to be quietly steady sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The body shape of that bass looks a lot like the old Fender Bass V to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu-khag Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I like it. Had to google him. He's recorded with Robert pollard and Jim Fairchild so that's ok with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister RLP Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I like it too. I shouldn't but I do. Mrs RLP doesn't. She doesn't like the shape of any bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I sort of like it, but not enough to drop any serious money on it. The bridge is the same as the one on the Classic Vibes/Matt Freeman/James Johnson basses so presumably it'll be a well made bass, even if it is a bit of an ugly duckling in the range.
