A very legitimate bass
 
Review Date: January 17, 2010
Reviewer: S. Diamond,
Nicely constructed, Korean (not Chinese) built. It's stamped as a Custom Shop/Limited-Edition, which is to say there'll only be as many as Guitar Center and its online offshoots (e.g. Musician's Friend) can sell. Still, they're quite rare in SoCal's GC's -- unlike the concurrent Explorer bass, which is much more visible. I think, in the long run, they will be mildly collectible. The pickups are a shade underpowered, but for a medium scale Gibson bass (i.e. one that is never going to sound like a Fender)this is rather admirable -- more for its looks than anything else, granted, but it's extremely playable out of the box. Better by far than my '71 EB-0. My sole complaint is the placement of the top strap button, which should really be on the neck-center. Being a bit neck heavy, you will want to move the button, or at the very least put a strap lock of some kind on the current location.
