The Twelfth Fret
The Gibson RD Artist Bass were built during 2018, revisiting the original RD Basses from 1977 to 1981. These distinctive basses draw from Gibson’s original Firebird and Thunderbird designs, but are definitely not copies. The early RD Bass line consisted of two models, the Standard, and Artist. Construction was Maple for the body and Laminated Maple for the neck, with a Maple fingerboard.
The Peghead is a small private shop next to George Furlanetto’s FBass shop. While the maple-neck Fender Telecaster was being quite successfully produced in almost its original form, by 1959 Fender wanted to widen the appeal of its instruments.
