*sold elsewhere* Samick Greg Bennett Corsair Bass £130 Manchester

[ribbetingfrog]

I bought this a couple of years ago from a guy who’d had it from new and barely played it.

it’s in excellent condition as a result.

stunning for a 20 year old bass.

 

the flame Green colour was a limited edition only made for one year so it’s a rare colour of a rare bass.

looks stunningly good.

 

These we’re designed by an ex fender master builder.

The build quality is superb.

Feels on a par with a Squier classic vibe.

 

Glossy and really playable neck.

 

Has a preamp that can be turned on or off with the push/pull volume knob.

 

The preamp is actually really nice, makes a great tone but does add a tiny bit of hiss, hardly noticeable.

lovely tone from the preamp though.

 

The pickups are ok but nothing special.

I put a bare knuckle p bass pup in and it was wonderful.

used it with this pickup for the time I e had it.

takes upgrades very well.

 

I don’t want to post, pickup in Stalybridge SK15.

For some reason I always thought these were short scale

It is actually a bit short overall due to the small headstock but it’s 34” scale.

Think they did a “junior” version too - probably more commonly seen as they were popular with learners.
