Gaskell VBass (2010 - 2012)

The Gaskell V-BASS is most obviously a Flying V Bass guitar. This is a model that is next to impossible to buy in right hand, let alone in left hand.

​

This bass is the hallmark of Heavy Metal music. Not only does it look aggressive but it's shape is practical and ergonomic. The V shape is a shape that always makes a statement and says you mean business.

​

The Gaskell V-BASS started out as a factory model, introduced in 2010, and went on to become the second most popular Gaskell bass. There are lefty bassists in nearly every country in the world that own and play a Gaskell VBASS. 

 

While the original Gaskell VBASS remains a Legacy model I am willing to make the VBASS in Custom Shop, although from 2024 I have had to become very selective about what Custom builds I want to do. Post-COVD, the world is a very different place and people are either waking up or remaining hopelessly ignorant of the larger agenda in play. Those who are the latter are very "difficult to deal with." 

 

And bear in mind that Gibson Guitars are taking a very aggressive path to ruining other guitar brands that make guitars similar to theirs. They succeeded suing Dean Guitars in 2022 for making Flying V guitars (even thiugh they had been making them since 1977) and they are continuing to "come after" the boutique builders. The question Custom Shop builders like myself have to ask ourselves now is: "do I really want to take the risk?"
