warwickhunt Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ah -ha! So you realised that if it was cheap, every Tom, Dick and Harry could potentially nip in and buy it before you Good thinking to delete your content!

Apart from pig-ugly...which seems to be a requirement for a bass played by Entwistle ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeefChief Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 My Mum was played by Entwistle, and she's a pig. Well done. A sound theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarxide Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 lol, there have been one or two cheap ones recently. they're good basses, just be prepared for neck droop and having to compensate. takes a bit of getting used to and is one reason why my doesn't get as much play as it should because it makes my fretting hand wrist hurt.

BigBeefChief Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 ....it was Dave Entwistle, the scouse plasterer from next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I can't find the link so don't know what you're looking at in terms of condition and cost. I've got one for sale in the for sale section, neck dive sorted too if you're interested, and it's shiny black. Never been rogered by an Entwistle as far as I'm aware.

theosd Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 They are just always really boomy - only buy if you're a plectrum player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't boomy & I use flatwounds & fingers. It doesn't neck dive either - after ten minutes well spent relocating the strap button.

budget bassist Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I really don't like them TBH. They're unbearably ugly, i don't like the way they play, they're stupidly heavy and a lot of the time have REALLY bad neckdive unless you know what to do with the strap button. Yeah that's all subjective but it seems pretty major to me, it surprises me how many people play them. Gibsons are even worse IMO, no better quality and 5 times the price.
