    Looking for a new acoustic guitar?

    in Accessories and Misc

    Posted

    Just a quick heads up...last saturday went shopping to look at Takamine,Martin,Taylor dreadnoughts but ended up coming away from GuitarGuitar Glasgow with a Tacoma JM9 Jumbo.

    solid spruce top,solid mahogany back and sides,satin finish,made in Tacoma,Washington and came with a beautiful plush Tacoma case. RRP £699 I paid £329

    absolutely beautuful guitar with a sound to match. I tried 20 acoustics and for the price nothing came anywhere close

    they also have the mini jumbos,dreadnoughts and roadking models around the same price as well and a number of higher spec'd models going cheap too.some have Fishman & LR Baggs electronics

    I believe the centre soundhole models have been discontinued hence the crazy prices.

    another Fender owned company,Ovation are also having a load of their USA models having production switched to the far east.
    I've seen some great deals(half price )on Balladeer LX's on the bay of late

    It looks similar to the 20th anniversary one that i used to have without a scratchplate.[/quote]


    the one in Glasgow has the control plate without the pickguard which just looks plain wrong imo.

    Del,did you sell your 20th to a fella from Greenock by any chance?

    [quote name='BB2000' post='239964' date='Jul 15 2008, 12:47 PM']It was factory specified not to have a string tree, and there doesn't seem to be any dead spots due to the lack of one, so I wouldn't bother. Are you leaving the V/T setup as it is? I wondered about a dual V/T stack for more control but never got round to it.[/quote]

    Hi BB,maybe in time I'll have the stacked controls but I'm happy enough with it as it is. I guess I've only the 3 tones with no mixes inbetween but each setting is really great sounding so I dont mind.

    I still have one of BB2000s pics from when it was his



    [quote name='TimHo' post='240119' date='Jul 15 2008, 03:20 PM']I also have an SB-2, but in black and vol/vol pots only. (& no string Tree!)
    But I'm not over over impressed with the output from the Precision pickup. Not the 'huge amounts of thump from the MFD split P' that you get so I'm wondering if I could have a duff pickup? I do change strings regularly so any ideas? I have also tried a diffferent bass through my amp (fender P Special) which gives a lot more 'thump' and tonal range.


    Cheers,

    have you tried raising the pickups and/or polepieces? I found the bridge pickup was swamped by the P when i first got it. With both p/ups on the P overpowered the SC. I had to hike the bridge one a fair bit till I got what i thought the right balance. Tonight I played my SB-2 and Asat one after another,both on the neck pickups and the Asat in passive/series. the SB2 wasnt any quieter or lacking in body

    hope this helps

    cheers

    I used to have a Bongo 4 with the humbucker and single coil. the sc was just too close to the neck for my way of playing.

    I havent played one but the 3 band single H Bongo gets good reviews.the HB is in the sweetspot and the 3 band EQ bites a bit more than the 4EQ on the other versions but as I've only ever seen and tried the HS and the HH,I'm only repeating what the Bongo H owners on the EBMM boards are saying
    Strings and Things will send up a bass tp their nearest dealer to you for you to try so if you can try a HH or HS in stock it may be worth having a single H sent up to audition as I doubt you'll see any shops carrying one

    FWIW I did love the 4 band EQ on the HS and I thought the bass sounded A1/first class

    [quote name='El_JimBob' post='238973' date='Jul 14 2008, 10:25 AM']What a beauty!
    Just noticed tho - no headstock string guide/clamp - does that not cause any problems, even with the tapered tuning posts?[/quote]

    you noticed this sooner than I did. the bass was out the case and being played when I first got it before I realised there was no string tree.

    I havent experienced any problems, there is sufficient break angle behind the nut but Its definetely something on my "to do" list

    finally some decent pics of my SB-2. this bass has the factory birdseye neck and ebony fingerboard options(no longer available I believe) and also a added 3 way pickup selector and tone control instead of the usual vol/vol and no tone

    For a passive bass its got a fairly hot ouput,with huge amounts of thump from the MFD split P and the big bridge single coil has possibly the most honkin mids of any bass I've yet owned.I've messed about with p/up heights quite a bit and I've got the bridge p/up set quite close to the strings.I much prefer the distinct tone this gives. most SB-2 users seem to use the bridge single coil more as a tone shaper for the P on their basses without a tone control.

    I seriously love this bass so much its not funny. if you see one come up for sale buy it... you will adore yours too!

    wonderful! .....that plum stain Euro is lush and the white ones are just amazing looking

    I've got a flame maple NS5 CRFM coming back to me this week and it'll soon be hobnobbing with the green stain Euro 5 . I'm now hankering after one of the spalted maple/zebrano/burr top ones too...quite fancy a 4... very addictive basses - I've yet to play a better bass at what I paid for them.

    bump for a couple more pics (courtesy of Eubassix) and a revised sale price of £650







    since the review the pre amp board was changed so the trim pot in the cavity adjusts the mid freq and the control on the front of the bass is mid boost/cut and not the reverse as was the case when it originally shipped for test
