Kev Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Interesting video to watch. It just looks so cheap. I mean honestly, hand me that and tell me it's a far east T-Bird knock off, I'd believe it. I think Stingrays are a crazy price point now, but at least the Special I had was pretty flawless in build quality, no complaints at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Good video. Liked the sound, not sure about the finish issues (headstock) and value for money. Seems like there is a third hole underneath the Hipshot bridge so that you can install Gibson's famous three point bridge. Man, who does not want to do that? Gibson should list it as another great feature of this bass 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought that - they probably just have a machine that drills out the holes for the three point bridge, and didn't change it for these.

Why the G2 didn't just have EMGs to begin with is beyond me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
