I think they actually look really good visually - probably a pig to play and I can't play guitar at all, but visually, great. This model looks a bit cheap but I have seen hand made custom jobs that looked better quality whilst keeping the same shape as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 don't play the G on the bass side too hard, or it'll be buzzing against the bridge of the guitar side, and probably the pickups too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) These are the cheapo versions - there are some that are the proper job and there was a guy using one on Jools a while back. I was not impressed. I think MikeyD had one for a while. Edited June 18, 2008 by bass_ferret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 There's reviews of a couple of their instruments on HC "Currently, I wouldn't rely on this guitar to hold a door open." "Because of the problems in getting the guitar and mandolin properly set up and strung, I was never able to play it, so I can't comment on the tone."

Alpha-Dave Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Some may remember this treasure popping up a couple of years ago, I think the defining comment was 'like a chapman stick, but s**t' [url="http://www.microphoneheaven.com/guitarbass/"]http://www.microphoneheaven.com/guitarbass/[/url] I honestly find it hard to believe that Tennessee have ripped of such an awful design, but I guess they think it will sell!
