FS: Tanglewood Curbow 4 string - red. £100 £100

[Reverend]

Hello,

My good ol' Tanglewood Curbow bass up for sale. It's red, it's crazy and it's the fastest playing bass guitar on the planet, bar none! Super slim neck, very modern sounding, but the on board active EQ is hugely powerful so you can get a variety of tones. This has mega low end, especially if you push the 'slap switch'. Is brilliant for RnB and hip hop stuff in this setting.

I've made it cheap as it has a little split in the headstock by one of the tuning pegs. Doesn't affect the playability or tuning in any way and it's been the same for 5 years, so it isn't getting any worse.

Here's some pics, including one of the little split in the headstock.

I had one of these for years, was my second ever bass. Really underrated instrument, super fast neck. Free BUMP for the nostalgia.

If it's an early model Tanglewood Curbow (like mine) it'll have a Mighty Mite pickup and the EQ should still be fully active with the slap switch engaged - later iterations of the Curbow are less flexible with a preset EQ contour with the slap switch on. And of course this is exactly the same beast as a Cort Curbow, just rebadged for Tanglewood. GLWTS!

[Reverend]

Yep, it's a pretty early one with the Mightymite pickup. The slap switch engages a further bit of active EQ (bass boost and mid cut) which are found on the back of the bass on two little trimmer pots. Really nice touch.

and BUMP!

Bump...

I'm tempted, having seen the pics. It looks very pretty. I need to win a lottery or two... or sell all that stuff I'm not using.

Any trades?

hmmm, would love to see some pictures
