That`s their Precision copy. Don`t know what they call it but you can check the website. Mine`s the V940FL, and it`s a different beast altogether.

[quote name='The Burpster' post='718058' date='Jan 19 2010, 04:51 PM']I have suitably ammended the title to stop anyone giving themselves a Hernia trying to get on. [/quote] Thanks Bob...overlooked that one. Cheers...Paul (Saxobass) -
Thanks guys.....any idea about its value....i.e. as a Cort lookalike????
-
Definitely a Cort......does anyone have any idea about its value?
-
Thanks everyone for some really helpful info. Unless my friend changes his mind I`ll go for this one.

I`ve been offered a Tokai Jazz copy and I think it is over 15 years old. I know the guy well and he looks after his kit. Does anyone here have experience of these basses and can offer any guidance/advice?
-
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is a Cort (tuners licensed by Steinberger). Very embarrassing for me as I stuck it in the `for sale` section for the present owner to help him out. Deluged with pics and info! Red face!
-
Better hold steady on this one fellas. I agree with everything said and have contacted the owner. I`ll get back as soon as I have spoken to him. Someone`s trying to pull a fast one here and it certainly isn`t me! I`ve got my ideas though and I`m checking it out down the line.
-
Point taken fellas......I`m on me way. In fact I had my doubts and had already said I wasn`t interested. Coat`s on- I`m gone. Cheers all.

The owner wants as close to £300 as he can get for this instrument, a 5 string Steinberger which looks quite old, has possibly been de-fretted and has had a precision type p.u.p. inserted instead of the original. I`m told the bridge p.u. is original. It plays well and , I believe, was brought in from America by the original owner, a professional bassist. The top plate has been resprayed quite well, and although well used is quite tidy. If you fancy it phone Phil on 01626 773400. I`ve played it and can answer questions up to a point ( I took the pictures for him), but don`t own it myself. It seems like an interesting instrument to me.

I`ve been playing the Bubinga bodied 4 string fretless now for 3 months (the V940 FL?), and I really can`t fault it. Very nice neck with a lovely fast, smooth action, good, punchy sound range, well made and superb value I`d say! Using it for modern jazz and don`t believe it can be faulted at the price.
-
Will report a.s.a.p. Possibly a bit later as I am going into hospital next week. They are giving me a stent for Xmas.....gift wrapped I hope! Incidentally.....what`s wrong with the wooden ones and what is the Steinberger sound?
-
No way of telling which model until it is delivered. I`ll then report on model and price. Cheers!
-
Just been offered a 5 string fretless Steinberger. Any thoughts? Don`t know anything about them and I`ve never played a 5 string. No idea of value either. A paragon of ignorance here, then!!!
-
Thanks for some really helpful stuff. Just come across the Epiphone Zenith, or Triumph 11 in the UK. Has anyone tried one of these yet?
-
Arthritis forces me away from my upright. I`d like the same sort of sound from, presumably, a bass guitar with some acoustic properties like a Godin or a Viellette. Any advice would be appreciated.
-
[b]Very[/b][u][/u] interested. Is it still for sale, does it have the full 34" scale neck, and as I am in Devon how would we do the deal????

[quote name='walbassist' post='621343' date='Oct 9 2009, 09:43 AM']Still available.[/quote] Got a rather lovely `German Blonde` 3/4 size double bass that I`d consider trading. It was built int he 50`s, is in superb condition, and was recently valued by a dealer as being worth around £1400. He oiffered me £900 cash for it. Interested? -
Tacoma Thunderchief Fretless - Lower Price :)
saxobass replied to dazzajl's topic in Basses For Sale
Can`t find it on Ebay. Would you be interested in trading it for a rather lovely `German Blonde` double bass (3/4 size)dating from the 50`s and in superb condition. This was recently valued by a dealer as being worth about £ 1400....he offered me a straight &900 for it. Cheers....Paul Warner -
Due to Rheumatoid arthritis now playing fretless BG and need a battery powered amp for gigs where power/mains is absent. Know about the `Briefcase` amp and wondered whether a light and economical alternative was available. Any ideas?
-
Thanks everybody.

Rheumatoid Arthritis in my wrists had stopped me playing my double bass and I would like to try the acoustic bass guitar as a (hopefully) `fill-in`alternative. I would like to know the differences between fretted and fretless varieties in terms of sound, playing feel and ease, and volume. Also, I was thinking of paying around £300 having been told this should get me something reasonably decent. I would like some recommendations, please, as getting info. seems difficult. So far I`ve looked at Crafter (BA 400 EQ), Dean, Tanglewood (Sundance TW55 A/bass FRB) Fender (Kingdom?) and Ashbury. Help needed please.
-
Hi Dazzadjl.....have sent a message to you about the Tacoma. Could be interested.
-
I`m a double bass player currently prevented from playing by the onset of rheumatoid arthritis in my wrists. My folky friends have suggested I buy an acoustic bass guitar in order to carry on playing for them. Any comments, suggestions and recommendations would be very welcome.
