2013 Gibson Memphis Custom Shop ES-335 bass in Vintage Sunburst.

Pretty rare, they were made in 2013 and I'm not sure any more have been made since. I've owned this from new and it's unmarked other than ageing of the bridge and pickups nickel plating. Comes with certificate of authenticity, QC checklist, truss rod tool and original case.

Weight: 9lbs 8oz.

Price £2500 or reasonable offer collected from Hertford or local-ish meet up.

Thank you for looking.

These are awesome basses! A very rare gem from Gibson as I recall they only made a total of 400 of these in 2013 in 3 colours (Black, Red, Sunburst) before they do what they always do and discontinue good stuff. 

 

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple which have become my go to bass as they are easily one of the best basses I have ever played and I love the power and versatility.... plus they look cool and are standard scale unlike the EBs of the 60's.   

 

Someone will be very happy with this! GLWS

I agree completely, it's an exceptional instrument. I imagine Gibson discontinued these simply because the vast majority of bassists won't pay for the Gibson Custom Shop build standard, so it makes the 6 string ES-335 guitars which start around £5k.

I got hooked on that kind of aesthetic after seeing the super cool Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Saw them a few years ago and that bass of his sounded phenominal.  I had the ES-335 and can agree that it is a superb bass.
