bigjohn Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I've just bought (a quite pricey) but good nick fully loaded Cowpoke body off eBay. I'm going to put a US lined fretless neck on it which I recently acquired. I was gonna put that on my Mexi PJ, but then this cropped up and on impulse... I've always wondered about Cowpokes... So, what are they like? Is it true the electrics are US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I had one for quite a while - it was my main bass for a few years. They sound....um....good...sorry, it's been a while. Look after the EQ tho - they're a nightmare to replace as they need special long-threaded pots to go through the body. I think the EQ is similar to one of the Urge basses...don't quote me on that tho. Wow.....talking about my cowpoke reminds me of those heady days on the Harmony Central Bass Forum....

bigjohn Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hurrah! a reply! Cheers aphook. Been reading about the EQ. I'd assumed each knob had something to do with each pickup, but there's a pan knob isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's right - toward the neck it's Vol and Pan, the back two are Treble and Bass. Mine was a tobaccoburst (I'm looking for a picture of it at the moment)...my tastes changed, so I sold it on here I think. Nice basses - lovely balance.

bigjohn Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 This one's a black / black thing. I've never had a fretless or an active bass. It's a double adventure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
