gary willis fretless bass solo, 1995 Israel 1440p

[@FvdWSeatbelt]

hello bass (Gary) lovers, this bass a pre GWB-1?

[@anthonytle00]

Correct

[@FvdWSeatbelt]

@@anthonytle00 it looks like a pre version cause the GWB-1 has a humbucker on the video a single pickup? 🤔

[@anthonytle00]

@@FvdWSeatbelt that's right, and the pickup wasn't radiused either. Willis got that bass in 1992 I think - no preamp/volume knobs were there cause he had used volume pedals and rack preamps back then. The GWB-1 prototype I guess hadn't been given to Willis until around 1997. Before Ibanez started putting up the GWB-1 for sale in 1999, the folks at Bartolini made the custom humbucker pickup, and it was radiused to match the finger ramp.

@@anthonytle00 thank you for the info👌 the GWB-1 is a great fretless I bought 3 months ago from 2002 with still a real ebony fingerboard an ebonol fingerboard is not my preference. the original USA Bartoline pickup & preamp which I believe is made in China these days?

[@anthonytle00]

@@FvdWSeatbelt doubt it. everything is made right here in the USA lol. Glad I could help mate

Man. What a show, can you post the whole concert? You’d be a lot cooler if you did… Speak is one of my favorites by TT, what a treat!!!

[@JasonWright-mc6dz]

Wow, That’s one beastly Drummer! Holy heavy hitter, I love G. Willis & Scott Henderson (more so for their non-TT projects) but the drummer stole the show with his solo on that first cut!!

[@VintageBassArchive]

[@tomorowsnobodys]

[@delurgiodanny6872]
