TheRev Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Try the Thomastik acoustic bass strings - very mellow but with just the right ammount of top end zing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstrike Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nothing wrong with using regular strings, what if you play flats? I always use electric strings, I really dislike acoustic bass guitar strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 What a cracker. Are you keeping it fretless, or getting it fretted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 [quote name='solofunkyjazz' post='288227' date='Sep 20 2008, 08:55 PM']It's one year old and as new, with about 10 hours playing time on it, the price on the website says it should cost about $5000.[/quote] $5000, 1 year old and only ten hours play on it??? I've lost count of the number of hours I've been playing my Tanglewood and I've only had it a couple of months now... everything's bedding in nicely now and the tone's starting to mellow out.

lozbass Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I know the guy from whom you're buying this - one of the most friendly and honest people I've had the pleasure of dealing with. If he says its as new, I'd wager that it is. I saw the auction and was tempted - you have an incredible bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
