7string Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Was Guitar Guitar more expensive than eBay ?? Sounds like it's going to fit in well with the rest of your basses !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Nice looking bass! Is it me or does it look like a Curbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's nice to see someone making an affordable 6 string Curbow now that Cort stop at 5 and I'm not sure if the Tanglewood ones are still about ( or even got into production, I tried a prototype a while back). I tried a fretless one a few weeks back and couldn't believe how light it was compared to my Cort. Very powerful EQ too. Cheers Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 In fact I really fancy a passive six so may have to think about getting one of these and sticking a Q Tuner in it if you can get them that reasonably ( nothing wrong with the onboard EQ in all honesty, I just want to live a battery free life ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingforaday Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 yeah yeah yeah, its beautiful, congratulations... so whats the catch? does it look like it was made by a blind guy with no hands when you inspect it closely? there's gotta be a catch. read on another thread someone saying it has that 'cheapo' feeling and the pickup sounds awful...

d-basser Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 i wouldnt say it felt cheap (one i played) plus they are actually £500 in GuitarGuitar so aint he cheap either. cant say i was blown away by pup and eq though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingforaday Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 so shockwave, now that you've had it a while whats the overall verdict? (what i'm basicaly asking here is should i stop drooling over the pictures of yours and just buy one myself?!?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 looks, feels and plays like a boutique bass pickup seems great, the preamp is one of the best iv tried, certainly the most responisve, such a vast array of sounds its lighter than my fender 4 string! the finish is just gorgoeus, pics don't do it justice. at the moment, this is my favourite bass to play, i havnt been able to put it down since getting it! for £200, or even the £599 new, its an amazing bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
