3below Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 A most worrying condition, sudden DB purchases, especially at this hour in the day. Quote
Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author 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
Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author 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
Clarky Posted January 10, 2015 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
Telebass Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Definitely one of those can't-stop-grinning evenings! Quote
SubsonicSimpleton Posted January 11, 2015 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. Quote
Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 It's certainly a more commanding prescence sonically and visulally! Quote
HowieBass Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I like the creamy white finish! Happy NDBD Quote
Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author 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! Quote
Telebass Posted January 11, 2015 Author 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
