Delberthot Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) I've not long had this as it was meant to be used for the project I was working on involving using all kinds of MIDI gubbins and synths but its not happening so I don't need it any more. Its a 6 string, active 2 band EQ, bolt-on neck and gold hardware. The output jack wasn't 100% so I've replaced it with a Neutrik one and its all tickety boo. Considering I play a Thunderbird with a neck like a pencil, the string spacing and neck dimensions on this are pretty good. Its quite narrow but still very playable. probably more along the lines of an Ibanez SR1016 I used to have as opposed to the ironing board Yamaha TRB6 I used to have. There's a wee bit of neck dive but I've yet to play a 6er that doesn't have it a bit of it but a good neoprene or suede strap takes care of the worst of it. It will come in a decent gig bag and £135 gets it delivered to your door for mainland UK. It will probably be a bit more for Ireland, Europe etc. Photbucket is being a pain - despite making sure that they were the right way up before uploading them, they appeared the wrong way up on Photobucket so I rotated them again only to find out that when I link to them they're still all over the place.

chrismuzz Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I used to play one of these basses. Very very comfortable to play, and worth well more than the asking price! If you want to experiment with a 6 stringer this is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm looking for a headless bass, preferrably a Washburn Status but may consider others as long as they are the full size body and not cricket bat type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Did you buy it from a Westbury (Wiltshire) music shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 No. I've never actually been to that part of the country now you come to mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I set one up for them just like that, they sold it on-line a few months back. It's a nice bass, the set up out of the box wasn't great but it's well made , the neck has two truss rods and set up easily. This is a bargain! I was vaguely interested in the one I saw but didn't need a bass with so many strings or knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fiddle with my Ibanez 6 string all during a gig but this is simple. You've just got master volume, pickup pan and active bass & treble controls. Just like 8 strings, everyone should own at least one 6 string, even if its just to say "nah, that's not for me". I've had 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) I could also be tempted by an Epiphone Thunderbird in one of the other colours such as Pelham Blue, Metallic Blue, Metallic Red, Gloss Black or white I'm also after a Boss OC-3 and 2 Digitech Bass Synth Wahs Edited September 1, 2011 by Delberthot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
