alyctes Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Another one for the clearout. This is a Korean-made Shine copy of the G+L ASAT four-string tele-style bass. I believe it's a Shine model 724, but nothing on it gives the model number. It would make a nice starter, backup or project, but it's quite giggable in its own right IMO. Passive four-string, decently made; quite playable, with a nice range of tones. Body and headstock are high-gloss varnish; neck is satin. Nut is 42mm wide. Controls are a pickup selector switch (front-both-rear), and knobs (V-V-T). There is a little neck dive, but nothing a wide strap won't deal with. (Wide strap thrown in if desired.) There's a bump on the back of the body about 3mm wide which has cracked the varnish; I've tried to take a picture of it. Pics are here: [url="https://postimg.org/gallery/nddi86tw/"]https://postimg.org/gallery/nddi86tw/[/url] £120 plus carriage; includes a cheapo gigbag.

BassManGraham Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 SHINE make great basses for the money, particularly the Korean ones. These ASAT copies play very nicely. Would buy this but I have an American G&L ASAT already! GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
