tayste_2000 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) So finally the last bass I can bare to part with is this. I picked it up as a Christmas present from my g/f thinking yeah I like the Cure this will be ace and I've barely picked it up. I think it's mainly due to my guitar skills being massively lacking. Looks just like this except with no pickguard (which I don't have) It's in great condition apart from one scratch on the face of it and one of the knobs has taken a bit of a bump so works perfectly but doesn't twist flat it sorta goes up towards the end of it's travel. I'll get some pictures of it tonight. This is a great instrument for trios as you can do some nice thumpy bass lines by palm muting and then even below 5th fret all the chords ring out nice and clear. It has a set of Elixir 6 string bass strings designed for this sort of instrument on it and I will include a set of Fender VI strings as well. I'm after what I paid for it, not including the £35 quid I spent on strings, plus the effort to change them which is not an easy job on a bigsby.

tayste_2000 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Right now its a bass tuned EADGBE so a full octave below a guitar but it can be restrung to a baritone if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I've always wanted to try one of these, especially since my skills with a plectrum are improving I'll need to sell my Aria first though before I even think about this one Edited May 5, 2010 by Delberthot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Assuming its just the knob thats bent and not the opoit shaft which would require a replacement pot I would give you £180 if you will meet at Knutsford services to do the deal skez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
