cytania Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well what dya know? This is acutally quite a playable bass; [url="http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/bigpic.php?ID=GR5658A"]http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/bigpic.php?ID=GR5658A[/url] I was wandering around guitar shops this lunchtime and the orange arcylic wonder is great fun. Easy modern neck, no fret buzz and good compact shape. Cheap too. Goes to show you never can tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar South Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I love Hobgoblin shops, staff and other customers are generally really friendly and knowledgeable and they have the most interesting range of instruments to try out of pretty much any music shop. Sadly not enough basses though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Obviously made by the same people who make the acrylic basses for [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WESLEY-CLEAR-BLUE-ACRYLIC-4-STRING-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ300231059037QQihZ020QQcategoryZ4713QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262"]Wesley[/url].

cytania Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 I guess what I'd find off-putting about this bass is looking through and seeing the folds of my jeans behind it. Wonder why they always use transparent acrylic? Guess I liked the neck, had just been round another shop with some Precision & Jazz clones that had awful feeling necks.

cytania Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Nottingham Hobgoblin store now closed. We are now down to only 4 guitar stores (and two of those are out of the city centre). Credit crunch or just over-supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
