Beginner looking to buy first bass, appreciate views on a few models
samkeen replied to Silverwolf's topic in Bass Guitars
I still have the Squire P bass that was my first bass 11 years ago (I lend it to students, can't bear to get rid of it). They're cheap and nice to play. No problem getting an active bass that I can see, other than you'll be paying more. Good luck! -
Hi all, My name's Sam, I'm a bass player and teacher in Devon. Current setup: Musicman Stingray 3 band (w/ piezo) Curbow M 7 string (for sale - see bass sale page) EA iAmp 500 (the British model with the built in Sabine tuner) + EA VL210 cab. Looking for a great fretless 5 string, probably a Zon Sonus. Hope to speak to some of you soon! Cheers, Sam

This beastie is a Curbow 'M' seven string bass from the workshop of the late great Greg Curbow. I love this bass, it's incredibly easy to play and the build quality's superb. It just doesn't get used enough to justify hanging onto it, especially when I'm on the lookout for a Zon Sonus 5 string fretless (trade anyone?) The neck is made from Curbow's famous rockwood (a birch ply soaked in phenolic resin, laminated and baked under high pressure and temperature). This thing just doesn't go out of tune, it's the most stable instrument I've ever come across. Beautiful, thick quilted maple top, Bartolini pickup and preamp, 3 band EQ with 3 way mid frequency selector switch, ABM bridge, Sperzel tuners. Bought from the Luthiers Access Group, see [url="http://luthiersaccessgroup.com/iscurbow1.html"]http://luthiersaccessgroup.com/iscurbow1.html[/url] It was built in 95 and is in excellent condition. A few tiny dings (happy to provide more photos if requested) and button scratch marks on the rear finish, but generally looks top notch. The clarity, punch and sustain of this bass is something to behold. Serious quality for this price. <s>Price: £1250 o.n.o. + P&P<s> NOW TRADED [attachment=33639:DSCN4788__Large_.JPG] [attachment=33640:DSCN4790__Large_.JPG] [attachment=33641:DSCN4803__Large_.JPG]
