warwickhunt Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 [IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/IMG_0071.jpg[/IMG] I sold my Zon Sonus and felt compelled to replace it... with two basses. The 'Jaffa Cake' Bolin is new and delivered from the States last week... 4 years after I bought the green one from the very same guy! The lighter coloured Sterling (white plate) is a return of an old flame; Rita! Quote
Jigster Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Looking good. what's the sound of a Bolin like? Any sound clips/youtube links you can point me to? Quote

Any sound clips/youtube links you can point me to? [/quote] I was messing about trying a camera out so there is a small clip here but not truly representative. It sounds great fingerstyle, very open and responsive but it will NOT do slap! LOL [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtIWz-_SYSc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtIWz-_SYSc[/url] Quote
Jigster Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I'm in love with that! What a great sound - Quote

What a great sound - [/quote] Cheers but it is literally through a pants camera mic, with the bass going through my Tech 21 guitar combo, the bass sounds better through a proper bass rig and in the flesh.

The 'new' one, 1991 bass that has never been gigged and is in museum quality condition. Quote

Prime_BASS Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 What year Sterling is that? Very tasty, same finish as mine, 'cept mines neck is 1 piece birdseye maple. Quote

Mind you a t40 is also a nice bass of a wood type finish, he may never notice Quote

I have one or two others out of shot (Parker Fly, Warwick Infinette, Aria Sinsonidia) but if I'm picking up a bass for a gig, it is one of these! Quote
JTUK Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Rita is a lovely looker. Best MM colour scheme IMO. Quote
Owen Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1326578050' post='1499180'] Those Bolins are great looking basses. [/quote] Look great, sound great, light as a feather. It's all good. Quote

GreeneKing Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Rita has returned to her creator (well I fitted the Nordstand and the plate to be precise). I'm not letting her stray again. Peter Quote
