BTGAndy Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 I entirely agree, not only should you buy it so I can pay back the missus, but to end the suffering currently being endured by attitudecastle!
Chris2112 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 These are very cool basses, I've always been a fan. Since Conklin seem to have fallen off the map as far as being cool or really diserable basses these days, these take me back to the glory days when the Groove Tools and Dickens models were in their first run and Conklin were all the rage. I've always thought these to be excellently spec'd basses. Great quality materials, fine construction, great sound, surprisingly light and easy on the shoulder, easy to record with a flexible and useable tonal palette and of course, a foot in the door as far as this very exclusive corner of bass guitars goes! I think it goes without saying that if you've ever flirted with the idea of playing a 7 string this would be the one to go for...and remember the sage advice - "it has strings tuned EADG too"
Chris2112 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 There seem to be a few of these basses in the country although they're certainly not coming up for sale every day. Do you know who the distributor for them was?
BTGAndy Posted November 1, 2010 Author Posted November 1, 2010 I haven't a clue, as far as I was aware second hand is the only way to go.
AttitudeCastle Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Conklin doesn't have a UK dealer, or the groove tools line! We should fix that! Get a big dealer in on it! All they need to do is e-mail the westheimer corperation says Bill Conklin him self to me on facebook! Bump on me andy!
BTGAndy Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Bump, I'll take part ex for interesting effects, studio gear or six string basses!
pantherairsoft Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Can't get over how long this has been here… how long I have been lusting for this bass… but alas, how long I have failed to get the money together for it! Bump for an amazing bass!
whiskey_ Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Incredible Machine ... I was always impressed by such instruments
