Sorry to awaken this old thread. I've been looking at Lindo basses lately but I hadn't seen a thin body version. Got a link Reg?

Hi ya frank, I’m not sure if Lindo do a slim body version, the slim one I looked at was the Washburn AB10 but for the amount I would probably use it it was a bit expensive

Cheers Sir!

My Washburn AB-35, which I absolutely love.

It needs a string change, but at the moment this is the only solo photo I have of it.

I got a fairly cheap stagg and it does the job nicely 

I use it aT OM nights to run ideas around with people first and not need an amp

Acoustic bass guitars are very niche, I have found. 

 

I had a Hobgoblin 5 string which I loved to play in my ukulele band.

 

I then upgraded to a Boulder Creek 5 string, with a set of Thomastik Infeld strings.  Wonderful instrument - many times I have wanted to sell it, but the tone and ease of playing made me keep it.  It is a very responsive instrument, which encourages me to play better. 

 

 

However, I have not played it in a band in 5 years. Really, it needs the right application  - a fully acoustic string band, perhaps? Maybe with violin, mandolin, and guitar too?

I had a fretless one but the neck was an absolute tree trunk. Sounded good but hard to play for a length of time.

😂 This statement is not untrue. I love mine though.

I have the AB-34 as well, which I really should get around to selling at some point.
