1981 Gibson Victory Artist Bass w/ OHSC

Bringing in the low-end this weekend we have this Gibson Victory Artist Bass from 1981… oh yeah! It’s a bit of a departure from Gibson’s previous bass designs. The Nashville plant had just opened and they wanted a new series to offer out of the new shop. It comes with 2 stock Series VIIIB humbuckers with switchable passive or active electronics from designer/engineer Tim Shaw. Three-ply Maple neck with 24 fret rosewood fingerboard. Chunky Gibson TRI-4 wedge bridge. 2 volume and 1 tone control, pickup selector, series/parallel switch and an active/passive switch. Absolutely fantastic playability and overall good used condition with just a couple scratches and player’s wear.Notable 80s punkers that played the Standard, single pickup version of this bass are Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü and Krist Novoselic of Nirvana. So there you go. $1499 with OHSC.
