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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"862\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003eThis bass is in excellent near mint condition and I would rate it a solid 9.5\/10.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2387\" data-end=\"2739\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2741\" data-end=\"2752\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2754\" data-end=\"3033\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3247\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3249\" data-end=\"3270\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3272\" data-end=\"3639\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
