JPJ Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So I liked the look of these when they first came out and a fellow bassist in my locality speaks very highly of his, and when this one popped up cheap on eBay and local to me I thought why not. Having also recently divested myself of a bass there was space in the stable (which Mrs JPJ would have only filled with household appliances or fitness aids never to see the light of day again) so a cheeky ‘will you accept....’ message later secured this bass for the same money the outgoing bass generated. The bass came without strings (risky I know) but the guy had solid feedback and I collected the bass from his home so I thought it was a risk worth taking. Whacked on a set of strings I had in the house and fired her up. Only had a ten minute play through headphones but it sounded like a Thunderbird to me with plenty of grunt and growl. I’ll add more here once I’ve spent a bit more time with it but first impressions are extremely positive😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I have the same bass. I prefer the look to my Gibson but my one is a lot heavier, which is the one & only downside. Ebony & chrome is such a great combination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 You’re such a (very good) poser Tim, that’s a cracking pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Oh, yes. That looks lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 [pedantic]there's no chrome on it - the hardware is all nickel plated[/pedantic] 😜 I agree that it looks great in any of the three colours. Both of mine are sunburst but I'd quite like a white one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
