MileBG Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I just wonder if anybody ever tried one of these basses. I am interested in buying Manne Basic 4 string model, it is a second hand instrument about 10 years old, pics will be soon. How much to pay one of these? Quote
bass_ferret Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 They were well reviewed in the UK but I dont know WTF is going on with those bolts on the back. Looks like the string retainer is broken but thats not much in itself, but maybe indicative of the care its had. Quote
MileBG Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 the neck bolts all across the body is their idea,read more about it at [url="http://www.manne.com/eng/mgpeng.htm"]http://www.manne.com/eng/mgpeng.htm[/url] Quote
ped Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Looks really nice to me - maybe in the £600 ballpark? Let us know if you go for it... ped Quote
MileBG Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 I am going to trade it for my Trace twin valve, guy actully sell Manne for 350 euros,but I'm out of cash so I will trade it for my Trace Twin valve combo, think it is an fair trade... sory on my poor English Quote
ped Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Great! Let us know what its like. The body looks really thin, I bet it is very comfortable... Cheers ped Quote
