parker_muse Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) You've all probably seen these on ebay with ridiculous inlays etc but this is a clean one. It's an Antoniotsai 4 string and it's absolutely stunning. Through Neck, i think it's a birdseye maple cap, active 3eq electronics. Powerful electronics actually, you can get a really strong variety of tones out of it. Needs a little set up, a little bit of fret buzz on the A. Haven't gigged this, and aquired it off this site. It's very playable and always gains very positive attention when it's played! I fancy a change, i play my MM all the time for gigs and recording now, so this is rather surplus to requirements. I'm open to trades on anything, another bass, an amp or a multi-effect. Though if cash i'm looking for about £150 which is half the price it was on ebay! Enjoy!

Kev Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 always been intrigued by these, what does it sound like?
parker_muse Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Without wishing to sound stupid, it sounds what you want it to! The bass on the EQ is VERY powerful, so you can get some real thump but you can dial in some good highs, it sounds as good as you can make it really by playing with the EQ and getting what you want. I hope that helps, it was quite a bad answer!
parker_muse Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 On second thoughts, i would say it was naturally quite 'woody' and 'natural'.
Rowbee Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 At 150 quid it's probably worth a punt so I wouldn't imagine it'll take long for someone to snap it up. It's actually quite an attractive looking instrument. Good luck on the sale.
tauzero Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I've got the 5-string version of this which I need to set up properly - still got the original strings on which aren't my ideal weight. I use another Tsai 5-string (with lots of inlay!) as my main gigging bass. Sound is best described as uncoloured or transparent - what the string does just gets amplified and sent out, which is precisely what I want a pickup and preamp to do.
parker_muse Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 bump! Oh, and thank you Tauzero, that sums it up much better then i could!
parker_muse Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 Just thought i would say that i've bought a multi-effect today, so would be looking for a cash sale preferably! Parker.
parker_muse Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Okay, need funds quickly so i'm looking for a quick sale, MAKE ME SOME OFFERS!!!
