MB1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 MB1. Most Definately! 19mm String spacing....What you after now Steve???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapmonsta Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ha ha!Do you guys follow each other around? Yes,it's 19mm spacing. I'ts a choice between an S2 or my mates 90's spot-on condition Empathy TBH. But if it doesn't go soon,I'll just keep it....que sera sera. I've also had two offers on my Green S1(the one in my avatar on the "Statii" site)...I can't really sell it though.I had a lot more hair when I bought it. Bloody typical.The one you don't want to sell people want to buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 This is a seriously cheap price, Steve. Did you realise that as a new order with Rob, that bass would be about £2100 now?! Lovely looking bass. I've had two KB Artists & unfortunately couldn't get along with them, so sold them. S2's are more my bag, baby! Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapmonsta Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Yeah I know Rich...it's just that I got a good deal on it from Thumper and in all honesty I guess I'm just asking more or less what I paid for it.I tend not to muck about so I just go in at the price I want-take it or leave it! Having played it again tonight though I must admit that it's a great instrument that "makes" you play a certain way-a bit like the way certain cars "make" you drive!I had a gig on Saturday that I couldn't really use it on as the tone is very "in your face" and my battle-scarred S1 is my weapon of choice for general work. I actually bought this bass about 5 months ago as a natural replacement for the S1.....I had a standard KB when they first came out and couldn't get on with the 34" scale.IMHO It forces your hand into tiring shapes when playing any length of time in f or f sharp...so I sold that and got this 32" Artist when it came up.I do think that the Artist and standard(bolt-on) models have quite different tones-the standard was an absolute "screamer" compared to this one!I think this is far a better all-round instrument but as you'll agree-not for the faint-hearted! If she doesn't sell by the end of the week I think I'll be keeping her.....for good this time! Regards, Steve.
