This is an extremely rare and very cool Gibson signature short-scale bass with one of the most eye-catching finishes Gibson has ever offered. Finished in Alpine Rainbow Sparkle, this bass has a look that is much more vibrant in person than photos usually capture. You simply do not see these come up often. Based on the Matoba Wataru model, it combines the classic Gibson SG Bass platform with a unique visual presentation and a very comfortable short-scale feel, making it equally appealing to collectors and players looking for something genuinely uncommon. Condition This bass is in excellent near mint condition and I would rate it a solid 9.5/10. It shows only light scratches from very light use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition. There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition, and the bass plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go. The original hard-shell case, certificate of authenticity, and case candy are all included.

Alpine Rainbow Sparkle is incredibly striking in person, with much more life and depth than most photos are able to show. It gives the bass a very distinctive look while still keeping the classic SG Bass shape intact. This model is also especially appealing because it pairs that rare finish with a very player-friendly spec set. The short 30.5" scale makes it comfortable and easy to play, while the dual SG Bass humbuckers offer a strong, full voice with plenty of usable range. It is the kind of signature model that feels special beyond just the name attached to it. Tone & Feel This bass has the warm, punchy, and solid response you want from a good short-scale Gibson bass. The dual humbuckers provide a strong, stable sound with plenty of low-end weight and midrange presence, making it a great fit for rock, pop, indie, and general session-style playing. The Rounded neck profile feels comfortable and easy in the hand, and at just 7 lbs even, this is a very lightweight and comfortable bass to play. It has an easy, lively feel that makes it a lot of fun right away. Transparency & Photos As with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
