gcordez Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Heres some more photos of her. Comes with a new set of spiros and a Fishman Full Circle pickup if required. This bass is great for anyone who travels to gigs/tours etc. It folds down to half its size, can fit in any car now, can fold it down to make public transport a lot easier (tubes/bus/taxis etc), can go on planes and at no extra cost, its tough as nails and certainly good enough to be a primary instrument.

geoffbassist Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I love the look of this bass and it seems like a good price. I broke I'm afraid, but good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's a lovely looker. My only worry would be that disassembling it regularly would stress the crap out of the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found strings (good ones) don't mind being "un" tuned, it is a quick trick on a gig (electric bass) if strings sound dull to detune them a few tones, snap them a few times then retune. Seems to brighten them up a bit, enough for the gig. Maybe the longer scale double bass strings would be the same? What a great idea though as some of the travel basses don't really look that great and this Chadwick seems to have been really well thought through.

I used Evah Pirazzi's and they were fine also. Gut and synthetic strings would be a disaster though. The thing is, this bass is good enough as a primary instrument so you could have any strings you wanted on it, as long as you didnt intend to pack it down all the time. In my opinion and experience, the Spiros were the best sounding strings on this instrument out of the options i tried (oliv, evah, velvet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
