Clarky Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 There's one FS on BassChat (a 5'er) although that doesn't directly answer your question [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133456&hl=grooveline"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=grooveline[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yes, have seen 2 at different shows this year. Both times I had to sit down as I felt queasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Still no sign of these basses in the UK. Disappointing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Blimey. I actually saw one at the London Bass show for the first time yesterday (a year after their introduction). Couldn't tell what it sounded like due to the noise pollution but it sits up in the lap in the perfect playing position - just as others have said. Impressed! they brought the price down by £300 but i still feel £1500 is too much, somehow. There are still no shops that stock them - you have to [i]order[/i] them. That's a pain.

JustaBass Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Sounds pretty good [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIPpbPjHRvo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIPpbPjHRvo[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRFX4zaREtU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRFX4zaREtU[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Italy is the last home of Prog Rock. Why is that? Well, I have to say there's nothing particularly distinctive about the tone to my ears, but then again, there's no space in this guy's music to hear it.

Jack Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 There's some better stuff in the second video for a bit. But isn't faster better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That tone sounds like 'generic modern bass'. Not very impressive IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a bit odd but I understand the experience is in playing one. (As always....) Seem to recall the rep lamenting the fact that they'd be pricey because of the exchange rate.
