Kev Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Recently purchased this as a panic-backup for a gig I had at the weekend and this was the only bass locally available in budget! No use for it really so, as surprised by it as I am (its absolutely crazy good for the money), I need to replace it with something more aggressive and modern. Bass is strung with some nice Flatwounds and sounds really nice. Can't fault the build quality at all really, neck is straight and smooth, neck pocket very tight, finish is good quality and the hardware seems fine. I have no idea how they make these basses so cheap! Only negative is the pickguard is roughly cut on one side, but other than that I can't fault it for what it is. Specs:[list] [*][size=3]Vintage series[/size] [*][size=3]Body: Basswood[/size] [*][size=3]Bolt-on neck: Canadian maple[/size] [*][size=3]Neck profile: C - shape[/size] [*][size=3]Maple fingerboard with dot inlays[/size] [*][size=3]20 Frets[/size] [*][size=3]Scale: 864 mm[/size] [*][size=3]42 mm thomann nut width[/size] [*][size=3]Double-action truss rod[/size] [*][size=3]Wilkinson MWBP Alnico vintage PB-style single coil pickup[/size] [*][size=3]1 Volume and 1 tone control[/size] [*][size=3]Deluxe chrome hardware[/size] [*][size=3]Classic PB - style machine heads[/size] [*][size=3]Strings: Daddario .045 - .100[/size] [*][size=3]Finish: 2-Tone sunburst high gloss[/size] [/list] Will consider including this as part ex for something more appropriate. No gig bag with this and no box so collection or meet up only please. It is located in Leamington Spa. Cheers Edited April 10, 2017 by Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
