That looks like a Gibby pup on the semi-tele, doesn't it?

Yiip - designed by Gibson's Seth Lover. Also found on the MKII Telecaster bass.

Personally, I'm not a fan, but some people are...

Weren't the pole-pieces staggered, though, as opposed to being in line?

*squints*

Well b*gger me - so they are. I stand corrected...

Must be non-factory, surely. Anyhow, nice bass!

That was a standard model around 7 or 8 years ago, I remember it from when I bought a 62RI J fretless from Ishibashi.

Never saw it outside of the stock Fender Japan photo though, very nice, that it, very nice indeed.

These are pretty ace, i'd like one, will eventually order one when another pops up in Ishibashi (it's about the 3rd one i've seen on there).

Hopefully when the Exchange rate is better...

If only I had a first born son or daughter I could sell to get my hands on one of these!
they just look so beautiful!
