Gear Watch: Manson’s John Paul Jones Signature Bass
Manson Guitar Shop has released the John Paul Jones E-Bass model, a replica of the bass Hugh Manson made for John in the early 90’s.
The 4-string bass features a maple through-neck, figured maple top, aged cherry sunburst finish, ebony fingerboard, EMG pickups and active circuit, Hipshot D-tuner, Schaller machine heads and Badass bridge. The specs are an exact match to the bass John is using on tour with Them Crooked Vultures.
The bass retails for £2099 (about US$2,700), including a gig bag and is currently available exclusively from Manson’s Guitar Shop.
