Tommy Stinson's Gear
A classically styled bass designed to the specifications of Guns and Roses Tommy Stinson.
By the look of it you might mistake the LTD Tommy Stinson Bass for another classic bass. But don't be fooled. This is 100% LTD and 100% Tommy. Sure it has a classic body and look but that's where the similarities end. This thing has booming J Bass and P bass active pickups in the bridge and neck positions respectively that when matched with the Gotoh 404BO bridge with string-thru body provide unreal sustain. The thin U neck contour allows you to flow seamlessly up and down the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Another cool feature that you'll love is the distressed vintage style finish to complete its classic look.
