To cheer you up I can put you in touch with a Nigerian prince who has a really interesting business proposition. Don't thank me yet - let's see how it pans out. I'm very excited, though.

I recently got a cheapo new Ibanez short scale acoustic bass which is nice to play (with fingers not pick; not accustomed to the body size) and it's leagues above in playability to my 80's Takamine G series acoustic. The short scale made all the difference but most of them I find to be a wrestling job to play with proficiency. Quote

The short scale made all the difference but most of them I find to be a wrestling job to play with proficiency. I had an Ibanez full scale acoustic bass, and once you got used to the deep body, it was great to play That said, I think it should be easy enough to get used to the body shape if you occasionally dabble on acoustic guitar.... I really liked my Ibanez Electro-acoustic. Some people don't seem to like the sound of acoustic basses, but I really liked mine It had quite a full sound, and was quite different to solid bodied bass guitars, tonally. It was also handy for learning / jamming along with youtube, or stuff on radio or TV - without needing an amp The neck was narrow-ish, but when I got it, the action was a bit on the high side. This was cured in the end, by gently sanding down the bridge to lower the strings. Intonation wasn't brilliant high up the neck - but I couldn't get too high up anyway, due to the body shape I wouldn't have sold it, as I liked it - but my son loved it, so I gave it to him.....

Stealth Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Yep y old P bass is a bit of s handful but sounds good until I sell it when the dream dust will be applied and awesomeness will become audible Quote

The fretboard was like a boomerang. It was virtually unplayable. 45 minutes ago, discreet said: If it was that cheap it probably played more like margarine... I think it was a Tanglewood or something. Yes, smooth nevertheless :-) I don't like margarine. Quote

BassTractor Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 BTW, and I apologise for the technical stuff in a fun discussion, but when I have a bass that is reluctant, three or four anti-clockwise turns on every screw in the neckplate always make it play like butter. Not like a dream though... Quote
