Excellent condition, 1 ding on headstock, won't show in photos.
Hand built at Gibson's Memphis, Tennessee factory. The Gibson ES-335 bass is built to the original carving specifications, and updates the electronics with a pair of warm, crisp humbuckers.
Pre pack inspection Jan 21st 2014.

The neck on the Gibson ES-335 electric bass is carved from a single piece of quarter-sawn maple, 34-inch scale length.
Set neck, 41mm nut, all-rosewood fingerboard, and inlaid on 8 frets with traditional white dot inlays.
This ltd edition is cut to the exact original body specs, with all-maple arched top and sides, and the 1961-style maple centerblock.
Weight is just over 9lb.


Unlike the originals the neck pup has been moved to centre position, giving more definition than the originals "mudbucker".
The humbucker in the bridge position instantly delivers that big percussive sound characteristic of Gibson's semi-hollowbody basses. Separate Volume and Tone pots on each pickup, 3 way toggle switch

The 3 point bridge has been replaced by a Babicz full contact. I DON'T have the original bridge, you can find them used for about £30.

It's a pig to photo so there's one from Chicago in there as well.
- 100 percent American Made in Memphis, TN
TRADES
American Jazz Deluxe 2014 onwards.

Any trial in Wigan.
Thanks for looking,
cheers,
Karl.
