10 Sound is another matter altogether with this bass. To my recording ears, this is the best sounding bass Gibson ever made. There is not a lot of top to the bass sound, but there is ample lows and fantastic middle. Middle bass sound is always the critical tone for recording, and this is where the G-3 delivers. The 250hz range is perfect and punches out from under all the guitars.
Great bass sound.
The G-3 neck is narrower than your average Fender Jazz or Pre. This is ideal for the working guitar player or working keyboard guy that has to double on bass. I used to get finger fatigue from switching to my friend's Pre-Bass. Not any more with the G-3. You could tell it was slapped together at the factory, but a little trip to the intonation clinic and any problems and rashes quickly cleared up.
