marvin spangles Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi Got this bass on try out from Tom Barret in Galway. It's made by an Oregon based Luthier called Seth Kimmel. She sure is 'purdy'. She sings purdy good too.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Do you think it would be a better buy than a fully carved la scala to keep your hybrid company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin spangles Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well that's the 64million dollar question. I'm finally at the stage where I think that I definitely should not be buying sight unseen. I've no doubt that a fully carved La Scala would be a superb bass. This bass is so ergonomically designed it seems a perfect fit for my small frame. I originally wanted something that I could use for a diploma and now find that this is a lovely jazz bass too. The only downside is it's a little heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
