Feel free to "Explore her"

Cheesy marketing, but never fails to draw attention no matter what you're selling.

The new Gaskell Explorer copy basses are supposedly due early May and will sell for $669.00 US. I'm not sure if they're only available in the goth black or if Gaskell's usual finish options will apply, but I'll find out.

Why is it that hot chicks are always pictured holding pointy 80's butt rock axes?

[gravesbass]

I am sorry.. but was there a guitar in that picture ??

[Jeroen]

You can have her. Not my type

[pjmuck]

They're all your type if your eyes are closed.

And thus concludes my sexist remark for Tuesday, April 21st, 2009.

Latest update:

I e-mailed Gaskell a few questions regarding specs, and this was their response:

-No pickguard option.

-Available in standard gloss colors as per the color chart with chrome hardware or in flat black finish with flat black (goth) hardware. (FYI, link to color chart: http://www.gaskellguitars.com/downloads.html)

-No 'burst' or 'quilted' color schemes at this stage.

-Camoflauge color schemes are ok, with extra cost.

- Body is std basswood + maple neck + rosewood fretboard.

The X bass is now listed under their "models" section, albeit with no further info other than another photo of our well-endowed friend, but I assume they'll get more details up there soon. I'm not sure if they're taking orders yet or are holding to their early MAY ETA on delivery.
