Old Horse Murphy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) This has been at my Mum's house for several years now until she made me reclaim it the other day! I bought this over 5 years ago for a project that never materialised and asked my Mum to look after it along with a few other bits while we moved house. Overall it's in very good condition and works fine. Intonation is good and it has been strung with a set of D'Addario Chromes. It's a 34" scale too. The neck is fine and the trussrod works as it should. The aciton is a little high to give it more of Double Bass sound but playing isn't hampered by this. The pre amp and electrics work fine. The output on the E string is a little quieter than the other strings. Apparently this is quite common on these basses and is a relatively simple fix (adjusting the E string saddle) but given I haven't looked at it for a few years I don't really have the inclination to try and sort it out myself. The specs are: AMB-50B Acoustic Bass Top Flamed Maple Back & Sides ABS Fiber Neck Mahogany Fingerboard Rosewood Bridge Rosewood Hardware Wood Pickups PZP-3 Piezo Controls AEQ-41 EQ Yours for £70 picked up or meet somewhere as it doesn't come with a gigbag or trade for a dcent Envelope Filter or Compressor.
