What specs does my bass have?

[M4L666]

I have had my bass for ages now, and have never considered how good it really was. I am wondering if any guys know what woods it's made from, the scale, all that stuff. It is a Tanglewood Liberty Starter Bass. I love it to bits, so knowing more about it will be well nice.

Looks nice enough though, for a starter bass. Passive P / J, rosewood FB, body... synthetic? I cant imagine they would contour the body like that if it was wood. Very cheap (sub £120 apparently).

Aye, it's a really nice bass for <£120. It came with a (crappy) amp as well.

Looks like a lot of bass for the money. And an amp!

It sure beats my Kays catalogue no-name Precision into the ground. Which is where it probably is now.

I was gonna say bi-focals.

Can you get my coat while you're at it?

You can measure the scale yourself using a tape measure. I'd expect that it's a 34". I see from the picture that it has a two-octave neck though (24 frets). I assume that it uses passive electronics, and there is no space for a 9V battery.

Can you put it on some scales and see how much it weighs?

S.P.
