steviedee Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Hi folks I have a chance of picking up a Romanian bass badged 'Michael Poller' as a back up just wondered if anyone has any views on them, I've yet to see it but imagine it'll be a laminate, although they make carved basses. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of them and how they size up in relation to other student level basses Stentors and the like, Steve on here has one and he has been very helpful, just looking for opinions.

steviedee Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 No one know much about these basses. I'm seeing it tomorrow I'll post a pic if I buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxobass Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I understand these to be potentially excellent and some times outstanding instruments when properly set up...as is the case with most Romanian instruments. I have had two Reghin basses and one Andreas Zeller. All have played well and sounded very good indeed. Also, don`t be put off if you discover yours to be a laminated instrument. Possibly the nicesr bass I ever owned was a German `blonde`...all laminated and superb both to play and listen to (wish I still had it!). People talk nonsense about ply basses......they are not necessarily bad and can have many virtues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks for the replies I have some pics on another thread, I'm getting the impression that it has a carved top going to to take it to a luthier next week.
