JoeEvans Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Now sold! This is a Tacoma Thunderchief CB10C in the standard spec for the model, which is spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck, and rosewood fingerboard. It has no built-in pick-up or electronics - acoustic only, but there are obviously various options for mics and pickups if you wanted to go down that route. These basses have become a modern classic, often described as 'the best acoustic bass guitar ever made'. Whether that's true or not, it's certainly in a different league to any other acoustic bass guitar I've ever played - a big, rich, resonant sound that can hold its own when playing with acoustic guitars, fiddles etc. This particular instrument is in almost new condition, as you can see from the pics - there are a few tiny marks here and there but it's exceptionally good for its age. The only really visible blemish is a patch of scuffing about where the right thumb would sit on the body. The build quality is extremely high - beautiful timber and really fine detailing everywhere. It's lightly built but very stable - taking it out of the case after six months without playing it, the bass was still more or less perfectly in tune. I'm only selling this because it doesn't get played enough (I play double bass as well, which has slightly taken over...) and I don't believe in good instruments being left lonely and unplayed! It comes in the original hard case, which is also very good quality. Edited April 13, 2022 by JoeEvans Sold! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I remember, when I was looking around at acoustic bass guitars, that these were THE ones to get. I don’t think I could now justify getting a third when the existing two constantly get ignored for my upright or electric upright, but part of me is tapping me on the shoulder and saying “PLEEEEEEEASE?!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 When fender bought Tacoma they really should have continued making these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I had bought one of these (E version) and it arrived smashed to bits - never bloody recovered from that ☹️ Even smashed open at the back it sounded ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
