Terry M. Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Wow I've never heard of that model till now. Appreciate the heads up but it's missing a string for me 👍 Quote

Decent price seeing as they’re fairly rare. Shame that the aftermarket scratchplate is screwed on, would look better in its original state without one. Cracking colour!

Mickeyboro Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I acquired one a few years ago. It proved difficult to sell on this forum when I decided to move it on, but found an appreciative buyer eventually. Quote

Very pretty and lovely to play, but the pickups were thin sounding to my ears, even with the assistance of the preamp, so I moved it on. Like you experienced, it took a while to sell.

They’re a very specific flavour of bass, not overly popular I guess (hence the relatively few numbers), but a very dedicated fan club on TB. Si 1 Quote
Mickeyboro Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Silly as it may seem, I found it hard to anchor my thumb - pickups v widely spaced! Quote
Terry M. Posted February 25 Posted February 25 34 minutes ago, Mickeyboro said: pickups v widely spaced! Did that contribute to an inherently scooped sound with both pickups on full? The Cort Jeff Berlin Rithimic V I've noticed also has pickups in two separate postcodes and I've wondered the same. Quote
Mickeyboro Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Think I felt like Sibob that the sound was a little undistinguished . Preferred my Fender Jazz, so it went. But to be fair I never took it out of the house, scared to damage it! Lovely looker. 1 Quote

It might have sounded even more undistinguished in a live mix. Quote
