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?

lemmywinks Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Looks pretty good for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EAGLE-INLAY-SOLID-BUBINGA-7-STRINGS-ELECTRIC-BASS-9138_W0QQitemZ310174482826QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item4837d7018a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EAGLE-INLAY-SOLID-BU...=item4837d7018a[/url] 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Those HK basses are listed regularly on eBay (so don't dive in too quickly) but no idea of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Here's the 5 string Marleaux style one for £199 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HK-5-String-Custom_W0QQitemZ120482329024QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item1c0d4e71c0"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HK-5-String-Custom_W...=item1c0d4e71c0[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 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.

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
