rd_artist Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ebay my friend, but be careful, if you find an Artist make sure the electronics are intact. back in the late seventies and early eighties people were a little crazy with the modding and would strip out the electronics.

rd_artist Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I found a listing for an Epiphone explorer bass in case you are interested. Epiphone Explorer Bass and here is a listing for a Gibson Explorer Bass, it's kind of FUGLY Gibson Explorer Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvansickle Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've seen a picture of at least one Explorer bass from the original run of Explorers in the 50s. Same body as the guitar, EB-0 style bridge. I believe there were some made in the 80s too, probably the last of the Bolen legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
