alembic1989 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just won this on ebay.Haven't got it yet .But I am very pleased. I really like unusual basses and this one fits the bill very nicely. Very high spec bass with in built tuner (on jack output) and those awesome q tuner pickups. Can't wait to try it out for the first time.

BigRedX Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Cool. If it had been a 5-string you might have been in competition from me. Full report when it arrives please. I might still have a punt on one of the guitars if the get re-listed cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give a review when it arrives..but I lack the facilities to post pics and sound samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosebass Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks like a bargain considering the list is £1800...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing that attracted me was that it was Bass Number 1...the original working prototype. I am a sucker for any kind of experimental/prototype instrument!!

Erno Zwaan (who makes them) has informed me that he is now using black coil wire as well as the red. What I do find strange looking at the website for the bass you bought is the list prices compared to the prices they are going for on ebay !!! You have certainly got a bargain, if its as good as it looks. It does appear that another maker has come on the scene at just the wrong time and I know all about that... Let us all know how you get on with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
