Al Heeley Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 They are really lovely basses, looks like a nice narrow spacing at the nut, for a 5-string. Is the AB1 an active or passive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flychris Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Those ABI are interesting me more and more ... I don't know what could be the feeling with fanned frets, but I would like to test them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Lovely looking bass, UB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Balsamic Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks guys. The bass is passive, and the fanned frets are practically unnoticeable when you are playing. I've gone from having played only 30" scale basses to this 37"-34" with no problem, and boy does it sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 thats absolutely beautiful! Been mini-GASing for a dingwall for a while (in the same way one would GAS for a ritter, i.e. not gonna happen for some time...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosts Over Japan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 WOW! thats like a perfect bass in a perfect colour! wanted one of those for a while but I think the Clover has to come first when I find a job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 That's a beauty.... and love the colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 great looking bass, I really like the bridge. I had a try of a fan fretted bass at the harrogate BB and the frets weren't as disorientating as I was expecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 That looks great. It isn't doing any favours making the wait for my custom fanned fret bass any easier! Is that your first fanned fret bass? How are you finding the stretch on the 37" side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
