BassBod Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Reluctantly for sale, the very best acoustic I have ever played. Big body, slim neck, good Fishman pickup and preamp system. All solid wood, spruce top and mahogany everything else. Light construction and very thin sealer/finish. Has a lovely boom! Comes with original hard case in good condition. Bass has a minor repair to the front, but is professionally done and stable. One chip in the back of the headstock - has been stuck back in, but could be tidied up a bit quite easily. Collection only from Bristol/ Bath area. More photos tomorrow, happy to answer any questions.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Tacoma guitars and basses are very fine instruments. I have two six string guitars and they are great. This Thunderchief will be no exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 That’s why I don’t want to ship it! They are built for sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) I’ve shipped acoustic basses with no issues before...Mansons chose to ship mine in a gigbag and a single ply cardboard box...broke my heart that bass.

BassBod Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 The hard case is pretty good for this bass, but also makes it quite big for shipping..would need an unusually large cardboard box, or something made up from two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The photos of the broken Tacoma are nothing to do with the bass I’m selling, other than as a caution against shipping acoustics without a hard case! No local interest from the South West bassers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sorry guys. Will delete my post. was literally a testimonial to the fact it sounded amazing even in the state mine arrived in - so I’m certain it’s an unbelievable ABG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and the comment was totally valid I was just concerned that idiots like me might (as I did) get distracted from the sale of the pukka bass.

whatever Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Really surprised this hasn't gone - they are one of the best sounding acoustic basses around. Here's a recording I did earlier . . . I think I used the piezo and a normal mic and combined the signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
