3below Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A most worrying condition, sudden DB purchases, especially at this hour in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's a Carlo Giordano SB120EW - possibly a hybrid. At the price I paid, I don't rightly care! [attachment=180619:Cg120ew.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 No, all-ply, but it sounds louder and better than the G4M 1/2, by a long way. Definitely needs new strings. Despite it being a proper 104cm 3/4, I am already finding the intonation easier...weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Many congrats, looks retro-tastic! A nice 50s cartoon/tattoo waterslide would look a treat on it https://www.pinterest.com/pin/461900505507050841/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Definitely one of those can't-stop-grinning evenings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nothing quite like a NDBD, I hope you get the same satisfaction and enjoyment from the sound that a 3/4 can deliver that I've been enjoying since getting my 50/4.

Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's certainly a more commanding prescence sonically and visulally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I like the creamy white finish! Happy NDBD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 As above, I find it strangely easier to play than the 1/2...The action could be better (as Raslee will attest, the 1/2 is very good in this respect), but the sound is huge by comparison, even with my limited knowledge of how to extract anything from it! It is altogether a more impressive beast. I cannot as yet fit the pickup I got from Lee, as the bridge wing slots are much wider than the 1/2. However, I will get it set up with EP Weichs, and an adjustable bridge if funds allow. At that point, I can also get hold of some maple slivers to allow me to fit the pickup and preamp - unless the new bridge fits better!

Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Oh, and by the way, I take back all I said elsewhere about the lack of difference between 1/2 and 3/4. Even on these two cheapies, the difference is very very obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
