Telebass

[quote name='Russ' post='14489' date='Jun 9 2007, 02:38 AM']I've checked out GAK and Sound Control, and neither of them seem to have the new ATKs. Anyone know of anywhere stocking them? I always wanted the old ATK405, but they're rare as rocking horse sh*t now, so one of the new 305s will suffice...[/quote] Well, we here at Hartnoll's have a 300, but if I remember correctly there's not a lot of 'em around yet...

That is no more a 66 P than I'm Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The neck date has been put on with a 50p office accessory, and even just looking at that particular pic, there's two glaring ommisions. It would say XXmonth66Y, where Y = A, B, or C, for the different neck widths available then. Also, where's the truss rod adjuster? The headstock logo is wrong, and there's something resembling the 'offset contour body' decal on the ball of the headstock, and no P has ever had one o' they! T top it off, who'd start a 66 P at less than a grand?

Cool review!

Howdy Jase!

Welcome, and enjoy!

Glad you made it over! Welcome!

Welcome! Ah, Precision, don't get me started on P-basses! All I play, can't possibly get enough of them!

not necessarily.

Availability: On request. Didn't think they'd actually have any yet...They're showing up on plenty of websites, but no-one in Europe, let alone UK, has them yet. They've just hit the shelves in the States, according to some of my other-forum contacts who are also interested in this bass.

Nice!

As per the sig...Fender, Fender all the way. Don't count Squier as seperate, even less so now I have one - great bass! In fact, Precisions all the way! Oh, and, erm, Mr Polglaze? If you ever decide to no longer like the A-neck P, do give me a call...Please! Pretty please!

Bassman 50 head - ooooooooo *drools* And with a matching 2x15 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *faints*

The reputation of the type 2 Telecaster bass, from which this is modelled, is of delivering unrelieved mud. In this respect, it's a very good copy, as it does mud for the Olympics, as you'd expect from a 'bucker that big and wound to 24kohms. But with a modern amp, you can get round that. If you have a very traditional rig, you'll only like the sound if you also like Gibson basses, although the longer scale does help the Fender be less muddy than a short-scale., So: Muddy? yes. Incurably muddy? Not at all. Well playable? With a good set-up, superb. Edit: forgot to add that you'll be lucky to see one before the end of June. Fender say mid-June, but I'll believe it when I see it...

Pretty Jazz!
