BigBeatNut Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Nice 4-string Rob Allen MB-2 on eBay right now for anyone interested -- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270546949433"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270546949433[/url] (I have no connection with the seller) Andy Quote
LeftyJ Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 My Italia Torino. Surprisingly affordable (I paid €400 brand new), yet incredible fun to play and it sounds great (deep, dark and big but with just enough brightness to still cut through thanks to that bridge pickup - which is really just a guitar humbucker underneath a closed cover): Quote
throwoff Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I was just about to say this is one of those threads I hate being a lefty for but thats quite pretty. Im not a fan of italia, their aesthetics usually prevent me even picking them up but that I like. Quote

Steve A Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 It's the fattest, warmest, nicest to record bass I've ever owned! Quote
Alfie Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 Talking about Italias, has anyone ever tried the Maranello Z? It had a piezo pickup and came in interesting colours. I considered getting one a couple of years ago, but decided it wasn't worth the price tag so I never tried it. I think it is discontinued now, but does anyone have/tried one? Quote
LeftyJ Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 [quote name='throwoff' post='775014' date='Mar 15 2010, 11:44 AM']I was just about to say this is one of those threads I hate being a lefty for but thats quite pretty.[/quote] There are several nice lefty hollowbodies out there. The Eastwood Classic 4 and the Ibanez AGB200 for example. They're both in the same price range as my Italia, and all three are very nice and well-made, easy to play and great-sounding basses, especially the Eastwood. There's a nice review by Ed Friedland on Youtube. Quote
henry norton Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 OK, OK, it's not a whole bass but hear me out! I can't put it in 'build diaries' because I'm not actually building it right now, I'm just experimenting with glues and laminates, but eventually I hope to have a few variations based on the same arched tops and profiles. The first one'll have DiMarzio EB type pickups and the second will have Darkstars. If this thread's still live when I get it finished I'll post! Quote

ZMech Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) this thread, in combination with the White Falcon for sale, has given me my first serious bit of GAS for a good year or two. My wallet hates all of you. Edited April 30, 2010 by Zach Quote
derrenleepoole Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 My newly acquired Tanglewood TEB-12, has a 30" scale length and nice woody/humbucker tone to it. Bought for the princely sum of £99 Quote
BigBeatNut Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 [quote name='gareth' post='825079' date='May 1 2010, 07:36 PM']Fender Precision HMT[/quote] Nice. Has to be said I'm not a fan of the headstocks on those, but every time one with a traditional Fender headstock comes up on eBay, I get a GAS attack ... despite that the fact that these days I'm pretty much 5-strings only.
