EssentialTension Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I know nothing about the Warwicks but I have an old earlier version of the Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4 and it works well for me. However, I've heard a lot of complaints about the Micheal Kellys too. There's no substitute for actually playing the bass and giving it a thorough examination.

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have an early version of one of these, [url="http://www.alangregory.co.uk/music/Ozark_3385N_Acoustic_Bass_Guitar.html"]http://www.alangregory.co.uk/music/Ozark_3...ass_Guitar.html[/url] Its basically the same but the new one has a proper preamp where mine just has volume/tone pots. The woods used are very nice and its got a great sound also its not a bad looking acoustic IMO. No neck issues or nasty faults over 10 years old so you could do worse. I just wish I had a 5 string acoustic now, you have given me some more gas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddHytheTown Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 May I point you shamelessly in the direction of the Ibanez I have on the marketplace: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73720"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73720[/url] It is a lovely bass but I just couldn't get to grips with it.

The Burpster Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The Takamine is a pretty good bass, but have a look at these before you pull the trigger - [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ovation_b778tx5_elite_tx_bass.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ovation_b778tx5_elite_tx_bass.htm[/url] Ovation are really good and this model especially. (although Thomann list this as the B778TX-5 its actually a B778TX-4 shown) Bugger them bugger them bugger them...! I thought I had cured my Ovation gas but this just looks sick.....!

absolutpepper Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 For the OP, +1 on that Ibby. I have the earlier Ibanez AE10B and its a great a/c bass. I tried out about a half dozen or so at the time (Fender, Warwick, Epiphone) and the Ibanez offered best sound and playability! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
