macb3th Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) bass noob so to speak, what bass would get me in a similar ballpark as this: [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/gibson_es_les_paul_bass_fdb.htm"]https://www.thomann....ul_bass_fdb.htm[/url] a violin bass? I think my ukulele bass probably ain't gonna cut it due to intonation issues (don't laugh too hard.. I'm an amatuer) Edited September 4, 2016 by macb3th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If you're after a hollow body, how about a Warwick Star bass? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273649-warwick-rockbass-star-bass-4-string-black/page__hl__star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ibanez Artcore AGB is a similar looking bass.

Skybone Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) That Artcore should be very similar to the LP. What about the Epi Jack Cassady or Rivoli? The Warwick Star Bass would be a very good choice too, but a bit more pricey. Edited September 4, 2016 by Skybone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] PM'd you Intonation is mostly good, need re-tuned pretty often but I'm advised this may settle. It's brand new, still has the tag. The E string is the most inconsistent but I just could not stop picking this thing up, she's addictive! It seems ok on the octave but as I said, maybe it just needs a little settling time or tweak. I'm pretty useless at anything like this and I don't really have patience just now, but her tone is soooooo sweeeeeet! I love it If anybody is interested I'll have it sent anywhere in the UK for £149 delivered Packaging and couriers I am good at!
