The ''Nashville'' full sizer is really nice. And it's highish setting suits my style of playing perfectly. for £1500 to £1700, you are getting a great bargain as it sounds better than anything else I've played in the cheaper price ranges, and resonated all the way round the whole shop, which is large, very nicely. I use a percussive, and slapping style, and it felt so natural, easy, and instinctive on the Nashville. I don't hang around in music scenes where all the usual folk scene snobbery matters. If it sounds right, it IS right. Who gives a mankey's donkey if it isn't an antique hungarian thing made from rare trees or some nonsense. I have a particular style, and anything that fits with that style is RIGHT for me. And for that price? The nashville is a winner really.

Yes! I know the basses you mean. They are in Victor Morris just up South bridge. The full size one is actually fantastic for the price. Yes, the folk scene snobs and disqualifiers which fill up the current Edinburgh scene will baulk, no doubt (these people fill up the ''folk pubs''' and literally disqualify anyone showing any new fresh talent. But for £1700? The full size one is fantastic. And it actually loooked very decent. I liked it's sandy/golden wooden colour. The high action was perfect for myself as I like to get my fingers under the strings to slap. And it automatically suited me, and felt very instinctive to play with my percussive style. And was VERY surprised at how much and how well it resonated from the back shop all the way down the the front. And for a bass of that price to do that? NICE!
