MATRIXSYNTH: GBX FLOOR BASS

GBX FLOOR BASS

via Craigslist Vancouver

"RARE early 70's GBX Floor Bass Model FB-1, the same layout as a four string bass guitar from the open strings up to and including the 8th fret. Original operating and tuning instructions are included. Pedals and base are in excellent condition, outer case has the usual scuffs."

$349

This one spotted and sent in via Kaden. This is the first post on GBX. Anyone know more about them?

Update via Kaden: "Canadian musicians of a certain age will remember GBX for their 'brains in a box' concept... they did guitar and base amplification based on powered speaker cabinets, with the heads only containing the pre-amp circuitry... need more volume? just add another cabinet. Never heard of the floor bass thingy though."
