chaypup Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 So, I've had the 4 string version of this for a while now and it's been brilliant. After not really getting enough out of the Stingray % I had I decided to try the 5 string version of the T-bass. And the verdict? Great to play, not really sold on the looks. Really lovely neck - the slimmest I've played, the pickups and the controls have a great sound, although I don't think it needs the active circuitry personally. It's just a bit big in the body and a little bit too slabby for me - which I didn't think about the 4 string at all. Anyway, a couple of pics until the weekend when we get some decent light.

It arrived an absolutely MINT condition though! And with the weirdest gig bag I've ever seen - pic to follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I quite like the looks - the T bass was first bass I had GAS for - never actually played one mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I loved my 4 string T-bass, that's not the most attractive thing I've ever seen but I bet it plays like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 They are great basses and that one looks in nice condition I especially like the lack of markers on the board Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact its a bit different from your regular run of the mill jazz shape plus it sounds cracking. Best 5 string neck I've played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 A couple of better pics, along with the massive, unpadded and ridiculous original gig bag [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/IMG_4795_zps3a4gqktx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/IMG_4795_zps3a4gqktx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/IMG_4794_zpsvq5ak2yl.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/IMG_4794_zpsvq5ak2yl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/IMG_4796_zpsyfhknlgy.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/IMG_4796_zpsyfhknlgy.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/IMG_4798_zpsjxkx5cpz.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/IMG_4798_zpsjxkx5cpz.jpg[/IMG][/URL] ...I really need to get a better scratchplate!
