TGEvans Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Looking into a new four string. Its either going to be a Korean legend, or one of the Re bop bolt ons from Europe. Just a gigging stage bass really. As far as I know both hese basses have exactly the same hardware and pickups/pre amps! Are the woods the same? Any opinions greatfully received.

RussFM Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yeah if you can, get a Rebop, the build quality will be better, and usually have the nice block inlays rather than the dots. But saying that, if you can pick up a second hand Legend as I did for around £200, they're an absolute bargain seeing as they're around £500 new now. I do prefer the EMG BTS preamp that was in the NS2000, but the Legend still sounds fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Having owned two 5 string Euros and a Rebop I must say that they are surprisingly similar. The Rebop actually seems to have a slightly larger lower cutaway and a slightly different neck profile. The Euro has real EMGs and will sound a bit clearer but HZs are still pretty good. Also, the big bonus of the Rebop is that it doesn't have a painted neck. So in answer to your question, I'd say go for a Rebop if you can.

TGEvans Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 It looks like I will be going for a Rebop! Trans black dlx four string! Will let you all know how I get on. I love My korean one that I got defretted, so if these are a bit of a step up it should be sweet!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
