warwickhunt Posted January 14, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds great fingerstyle, very open and responsive but it will NOT do slap!

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.

GreeneKing Posted October 16, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
