Gibson Bass Guitar - Pros and Cons


The Gibson Bass Guitar first produced the EB-1 Bass and this was followed by the EB-0. The hum bucking pick up was placed directly on the neck of the guitar in the initial stages of design. The EB-3 was a much sleeker model compared to the earlier versions. The Gibson Thunderbird had dual hum bucking pickups placed between the neck and the bridge. Most basses have four, five and six strings and in the extended basses you will find 12 strings. The pickup of the bass electric guitar is magnetic which helps in producing a distinct sound which can be enhanced using a speaker and an amplifier.

There are a number of models of the Gibson Bass and some of the more famous ones include Tobias Growler, Thunderbird IV Bass, Thunderbird IV, Ltd Ed Silverburst Thunderbird IV, Grabber II Bass, Nikki Sixx Thunderbird Bass, Thunderbird Pro V, SG Standard Bass, SG Standard Bass Faded, Thunderbird Pro IV, Jack Casady, EB-0, EB-3, Goth Thunderbird IV, Les Paul Special, Nikki Sixx Blackbird, Allen Woody Rumblekat and Ripper II Bass.

So if you are a lover of good music and would love to learn the guitar then there is no better model to buy than the Gibson Basses who have different guitars to suit each individual's needs. A very interesting part about these guitars is that they have a standardized serial number at the back of each guitar which indicates the date they were produced and the order of production on that particular day.

The biggest disadvantage of the Gibson bass guitar if any has to do with the price, as most find it very expensive. Some of these guitars also have seven strings and most people who use the five string guitar find it a bit troublesome to use the two extra strings and think that it affects their style of playing.

Some people also find it very heavy and not an ideal one for beginners or novices who have just began to play the guitar. The advantages of the Gibson bass are so many that they have remained the hot favorite of musicians all over the world for the unique sound they produce.
