I don't think Gibson's made a smart move since 1957, when they decided to install Seth Lover's new-fangled "humbucking" pickup into Les Paul's guitar.

:lol:

Krist N. Was smart to have more or less disappeared from sight when Nirvana disembarked. Although he was instrumental in their sound (he played more melody than Cobain on a lot of their songs), he was seen (fairly or unfairly) as "just a guy" by the general public. I know he was involved in some PACs and occasionally appears with a few select groups/people, but his name never pops up in my mind when I think "Grunge."

As far as Gibbo issuing this bass, I want to know who would buy the thing...unless it's a killer instrument, it's going to be just another off-beat foot note, much like the original RD axes.

It seems that those guys can't seem to get out of their own way lately.

I don't like them. I feel like it's a single coil's sound, only muffled. Know what I mean?
