Warming up for his gig tonight with Pat Benatar at the House of Blues' New Year's Eve part, Mick stopped by GMI's Entertainment Relations showroom in Los Angeles to check out a couple of Epiphone El Capitan basses.

Mahan, who also plays Tobias basses, tuned up on an ebony El Capitan five-string, then enjoyed the sweet sounds of a sunburst model.

From all of us at Gibson Musical Instruments, have a safe and happy New Year.
