whynot Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Always been a fan of these basses and now they are back in production. Unfortunately a little pricey but if anyone gets the chance to pickup one of the earlier 90's models on the cheap I recommend giving it a try if a graphite neck fan.

doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The Gallery used to sell these - very interesting instruments! I think Tony Levin bought one back in '94... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3V17C Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 i always quite liked these and the unusual headstock etc. Seem to remember Neil Murray used them quite alot at one stage.... peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've always had a soft spot for these. Problem was when they stopped making them, you were in serious trouble if the string retaining screws had a stripped thread and it was quite a common occurence apparently.

bassbloke Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 and sure enough - they've changed the design to use standard tuning pegs rather than locking screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think your right. SKC were a major source for spares on all related products but not these days I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
