Well my all grown up children brought me a bass for my birthday,Its an Eastwood semi short scale very slim neck,its about seven years old,it came with its own hard case.Got it on last Sunday morning,gigged it same day,I was going to use it on the opening nos,but used it the whole gig.The bass sounds a bit Gibson EB ish loads of bottom but the back pup gives a bit of twang so you can mix a decent sound in.Its a VVT but the tone knob really does give me a load of different tone to choose from,I like it,Ive never heard on Eastwood befor,but would not mind getting a spare.
