I grabbed one of the blue ones of these when they cut the price to under $600. I have been gigging with it mostly since then. Gotta say, I am a fan. These things are light, no neck dive, the tone and coil splitting work great, the pickup is articulate. I use rounds on it and I can move from a 60s rock sound to something more contemporary through just diming the tone, pulling up the knob, and tweaking my amp (I use a Fender Rumble and switch from "Vintage" to "bright" and "contour" buttons, leaving EQ as is). Very very happy with mine.
Jeff, I play with my thumb on the pick up and it fields kind of precarious. I love the this bass and I've been gigging with it for about 18 mos and playing my P bass less and less so I'm quite the fan, otherwise.
@@LowEndLobster Hey Lobster, did you notice if you play like I do and you press your thumb down on the pick up, it feels like it might move. I love this bass and gig with it a few times a month but I'm worried about damaging the pickup.
@@LowEndLobster Thank you, Lobster... appreciate the response! There's still a local, privately owned music shop near me. The owner sets up my instruments and does the maintenance. Unless it is changing strings, I don't have the confidence to mess with things myself. Im going to ask him to look at it and I'll mention what you told me. I enjoy your vids. Lobster.
Definitely has that classic Gibson tone to it. Doesn’t sound too much different than my old Grabber, but the LP has a slightly nicer brightness to it. That humbucker could really sound legit in a mix. Great review my friend!
Just played a Gibson SG bass and to my surprise I really liked the bridge pu sound. And the handling is awesome! A friend plays the SG with an Orange Terror Bass amp and an 8x10 cab in a psychedelic rock band and man... the air is moving :)
Thanks for the comment! I've never played any of the Gibson SGs, but I have played an Epiphone EB-3 and was also surprised at the bridge pickup. Your friends setup sounds like it can really boom :).
@@LowEndLobster Now i also saw your review of the Sterling short scale bass,great too........ I ´m a Precision Player and I´m looking for a short scale bass for a new sound.Which one of the two,the Sterling or the Gibson,is your favourite?
@@noxtuboid1840 Eh, I disagree. However, at the end of the day we can choose to swap em or keep em! I'm glad there are great aftermarket options to replace the 3 point, and IMO I think it's a must but that's just my opinion :)
..hahaha I agree! The three point bridge is a side issue. It's all in the fingers anyway! Jack Bruce survived with a rudimentary bridge on his EB3 bass, why start moaning about it now? Does installing a Hipshot make one a better player? I doubt it. Onstage is where it happens, and I don't think people are going to judge me for being deficient for using a three point bridge. Live is where it's at..
@@LowEndLobster They are very fun, a bit of a challenge in the modding game, but if you check out some of the pics on the TB Mikro thread, some people have gone wild. I'm talking headless conversions and such...
Thanks! I don't like the lack of individual string height adjustment, that being said they're less problematic here than the hollow body basses where the bridge and bridge ferrules would pull out of the body over time.
oh boy , yeah ok , as a bassplayer that bought his first bass 56 years ago and has owned many a Gibson I can absolutely state that the stock bridge absolutely sucks , anybody that thinks this is swell is a definate candidate for a slot in a CreedenceClearwater Revival tribute band . Hipshot , hipshot or hipshot
These basses sound and look pretty killer, and I almost bought one. The thing that stopped me is that bloody floating three point bridge. I already have a Thunderbird with that bridge in my life, so why add more stress?
@@LowEndLobster I've been looking at the Hipshot bridges that you installed on that Jack Casady bass. Seems like a small price to pay for a much more reliable bridge. Or, Gibson could listen to the critics and do it themselves
Pretty cool bass but for the tones I heard I can think of quite a few other basses I would prefer although I will say that I was knocked out by the slap tone and I did not expect that; very different with that pickup and those strings.
Indeed. What impressed me most was the build quality (minus the fret ends but that was more of a mass storage issue with these) and the balance. The sale price of 6-700 makes these thing a very solid vintage-styled shortscale.
My second bass was also an EB-0, and I have the exact same opinions about it. I got rid of it about 15 years ago. I recently got another short scale though, a Gretch Junior Jet II, Its a much better instrument 👌
Thanks Golfboy! I do noooot have fond memories of my Epi EB-0 hahahaha. I definitely want to check out those Gretch shorties, they look awesome and I hear great things!
I find slabs comfortable, then again I also love playing my Stingray Classic with a slab body too haha. This one is comfy IMO, just popped it on my lap to confirm. The excellent balance and no neckdive is a nice plus as well
Any Gibson Bass is excellent, especially the SG Standard, T Bird, Les Paul, and Midtown Hollow body, etc.. I think the stock Babitz Bridges are fine, but to each their own.
@@LowEndLobster Now I've got the TI short scale flats and Hipshot 3 point bridge fitted, giving a nice range of very usable tones. I'm very happy with it apart from the less than good access to the very highest frets, but then I'm old school, so not too much of a problem..
Oh yeh!!! Not ibenez. Awesome. Yeh I think Gibson got this one right. Tho I like the ripper and gripper, they should stick to guitars. I'm not a big short scale fan, but the Jr. Seems really nice. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. Still can't wait for the walnut Ric in depth vid. Btw hope you know I'm just playing with you about the ibenez's, I wouldn't comment just to complain. Cheers lobster
Thanks Bob! Honestly, haven't played an EB-0 in like 15 years, and that was an Epi. I'd think this would be pretty true to the EB-0 neck profile. It feels really good.
Thanks Joel! I actually am planning several giveaways and contests, so keep your eyes peeled my friend! Patreon wise, definitely but going to wait to grow a bit more. I'm very fortunate to have a very solid full time job that allows me to have all these basses and free time, and I wouldn't feel right getting donations at this point in time especially when many others are struggling.
What a righteous little bass. I must have one. I would love to see a version of this with 2 pickups, call it a Les Paul Special Tribute or whatever. But for the love of Calliope, Gibson, please put some covers on the Bass- bucker that are worthy of the Gibson name! It's a great pickup, sounds awesome, so don't hide it- give it a proper cover that we can all be proud of.
Thank you! I've since modded this bass with a much more worthy pickup and pickup cover from Serek. LOVE the end result. Here's a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/zwKDVtzoh74/v-deo.html
Could someone help me by saying what are the width, depth and length measurements of this Les Paul Junior bass? I need this information to find out if I can use a guitar hardcase ...
I cannibalized a non branded Les Paul guitar case for mine and it was a perfect fit. I understand not all LP cases fit since it has the bigger tuners but you can definitely use some Les Paul cases to fit it.
@@LowEndLobster it is a p bass and i picked it up for 70 bucks so i can learn because i'm disabled at the age of 53 so i thought i would try to learn the bass
Thanks Billy! I don't use a strap in my videos because there are many variables in strap balance including the type of strap and the build of the player. I think one can decently infer what the strap balance will be like when playing a bass on the lap, and this bass does balance extremely well!
@@LowEndLobster I disagree simply because the pivot point on your lap is completely different from the the suspension angle across the studs. But thanks for replying.
With some roundwounds, perhaps punk. IMO with Metal you'd want something a bit more aggressive sounding if it were up to me as the thunderbird style humbucker here is a bit warm and round overall.
I have an Epiphone EB-0. Definitely has some neckdive and the "mudbucker" has a pretty heavy sound. That being said, the EB-0 does have a distinctive sound and, turned up loud, can really shake the walls. But yeah, I can see how many people wouldn't like the "mudbucker" sound.
Harley Benton does a nice looking 6 string version of the LP Jnr for just under $300. If they did a bass version for $350 or less, I’d bite their hand off!! Personally, the slap tones on this hurt my ears! 🤔 and I’m not sure if I preferred the more focussed tone of the P bass over the bassbucker. I quite liked the single coil tone though!!
Okay so no dive when sitting, but I notice the lap position is pretty far up, to the point the the lower horn extends further than the upper. How does it balance when strapped and standing?
XD, I should automatically just remove a claw from any bass that has a 3 point bridge ahaha. I absolutely hate that design, but IMO it's so much worse in the hollow bodies because they pull out of the body over time. I still wish Gibson would just give up with this. I definitely stand by my rating here, it's a super fun short scale though I wouldn't pay the $999 full price, but the $699 sale price makes this palatable IMO.
@@보리-f3d This is a rare good bass from Gibson. They usually do not make good ones. I would put Fender above Gibson, but I'm no fan of either as a company

I think it would be really valuable to talk about neck dive when sitting and when using a strap for all your great bass reviews.
Thanks for the suggestion Russell!

If you want a fast, thin, neck on a Short Scale, try the Ibanez Mikro... 28.5" scale! The 5er is a surprisingly good bass @ ~$200
