Spoombung Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anyone played one of these?: The neck is almost like a broom handle it's so thin and round. It really is gorgeous to play (especially with a pic) - but the the bridge is ropey and the strings are also narrow at the bridge as well as the nut. I wish [i]at least one[/i] of the big guitar companies would make a narrow necked bass like this again. Get this: Wunjo and Andy's both have one for £450! Oh, Jesus, I still expect to pick these basses up for £25 in a junk shop..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVTele Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) If I remember rightly, the first electric bass I ever tried, in a music shop along the Camden Road in Tunbridge Wells when I were nobbut a lad, was a brand new Bassmaster... must have had a powerful subliminal effect Edited January 13, 2009 by PVTele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah, I got one. In my opinion they are not great. There is no truss rod (so you need light strings) - the tuning keys are not great either. The input jack is a coaxial cable too (unless someone has changed it - they had on mine). An immaculate one may be of interest to a collector, but that is about it. If you want one as a player, i'd get a battered one on ebay and replace the bridge and tuners.
