razze06 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) £170 Early to mid-nineties Tanglewood Bassmaster Funk. Maple body and neck, four strings, active pickups, V-V-T controls. There's a whole thread about these basses here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/174041-holy-moly-look-what-lukefrc-found-now-with-real-life-mojorelicing-%3B/page__hl__bassmaster"]http://basschat.co.u..._hl__bassmaster[/url] Here's there original catalogue, showing the bass in question in the bottom right corner: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=108469"]http://basschat.co.u...ttach_id=108469[/url] Almost an exact copy of a Spector, even in terms of feel and sound (feels and sounds a lot like a euro rebop i tried in a shop recently). Very hot pickups, powerful mids and a prominent tone in the mix. A bass that can be heard! Some very minor wear and tear. Most notably, a small chip on the neck close to the fretboard (see picture). Never felt it was there when playing it. £170, including shipping from Edinburgh. Interested in part exchanging this for a cheap EUB.

razze06 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Trade deal unfortunately fell through, back on the market with a bump and a lowered cash price. Still interested in trades as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_stones Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Recently watched a support band playing at The Finsbury in London where the singer was rocking a stunning Spector; I asked him after the show what one it was because it had an awesome tone; 'Actually, it's a Tanglewood Bassmaster Funk' he said. Colour me surprised. If I wasn't selling basses to raise funds myself, I'd buy this in an instant - you are talking a whole LOT of bang for your buck - at £170 you can't possibly go wrong!

razze06 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks chuck, I agree entirely. Last time I was trying to sell it I ended up keeping it after playing it a bit at home... It's market rules, and lack of awareness of the quality of the bass. I am constantly pegged back by an ad on gumtree selling his beat up one for £90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_stones Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I had a completely unheard of Tanglewood which I ended up selling to Carlos in Spain and I've regretted it ever since. I tried to buy it back but it's somewhere else in Europe now, but that sold for around £350 (IIRC) and was probably worth triple that in terms of materials and build quality; certainly stood up to any Warwicks, Spectors or other mid/mid-high range basses I've tried. It's been upgraded with better electronics since and now it sounds utterly amazing. One day, it will be mine again GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
