Grahambythesea Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I know these have been around for a few years now, although I have only recently noticed that it's a 34ins scale semi, a bit of a rarity. However I can't find any reviews. Gear4music offer the black version to order at £289 and there is an Italian on line store offering the sunburst for 299 euros. So has anyone any experience. The prices seem too good to be true and usually if it's too good it probably isn't worth having. Another member on BC rates his Corsair, but that's a really different bass. I could really use a lighter weight fretted bass at present as I have a shoulder injury but probably don't want to abandon my Jazz bass in the long term. Anyone help, got one ? Had one? Quote
ahpook Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I've seen similar designs but not this particular semi.....my first concern is that it looks like a neck-diver, how will that square with your shoulder problems ? Quote
Grahambythesea Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Very good point. Would be really good to hear from someone who's got one. Quote
TheGreek Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 You're not far off the money for a Chowny bass - most of us who saw them at the LBGS were very impressed... Quote
grayn Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I did own one of these but it was many years ago and I was mainly playing acoustic guitar, at the time. I do renmember that is was really well built, nicely finished and sounded great, with quite a variety in tone. Can't remember if it was neck heavy, as I wasn't gigging as a bassist, at the time. It's a real looker and will definitely stand out, in a crowd, IMO. Sorry, that's all I've got. Got to be worth checking out though. Quote
