For sale is a 2018 Gibson RD Artist Bass in Antique Natural. The Gibson RD Artist Bass 2018 marks the reintroduction of Gibson's first active bass guitar. Originally released in the late '70s, the RD Artist Bass offers players a full 34" scale length along its all-maple construction for a punchy sound that never loses articulation or sustain. The dual humbucking pickups push their throaty tone through an active preamp that allows you to shape the instrument's bass, treble, and mid frequencies with precision. Gibson also equipped their RD Artist Bass 2018 with a full-contact Babicz bridge to elicit maximum stability and sustain from the instrument.
This bass guitar comes with the original hard-shell case. It has been played but is in very good condition and in perfect working order. There are some light scratches, a few small dings, and some finish checking throughout. Overall, I would rate the condition a solid 8.8 out of 10. Everything on the bass guitar is original. There are no cracks, repairs, or issues with the guitar. The neck is straight with no issues. The original frets are in excellent condition with no wear. There is no buzzing or dead spots. I have recently set the bass guitar up for optimal performance.
Detailed photos of the wear on the bass guitar are included, providing a transparent view of its condition. The bass guitar in the listing is the actual instrument you will be purchasing—no generic stock photos are used.
