7 string bass, looks like low B to high F. Neck through, ash body, Kent Armstrong pups - £454.96

Sounds good on paper, does it sound good through an amp? Sale is over now but does anyone know HK basses?

Them bridge rails look wonky as hell

Didn't shockwave have an HK 7 string?

Think he said it was prety good. They do Marleaux style ones, that was the one he had

Looks pretty good for the price.

I've found one cheaper £213.51.

I'm not sure how good it can be at that price but I'd like to try one.

Those HK basses are listed regularly on eBay (so don't dive in too quickly) but no idea of quality.

Here's the 5 string Marleaux style one for £199

Honestly after my experience?

Nice enough to look at, but i discovered that the fretless had misaligned pickups and the neck pocket was really bad on it.

Lovely sounds though!

I wouldnt get it again.

That's really quite tempting actually..! Would make a good spare/chuck-it-in-the-car rehearsal bass.

Looking at the spec it's a huge amount of bass for the money. Construction issues would put me off a bit though, if i had the space for any more basses i'd have probably pulled the trigger on this already

Looks like a Warwick style adjustable brass nut too?

I bet Marleaux aren't too chuffed though!
