parker_muse Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 So, anyone else done this? I've sold my VMJ. I've been saving. I walk into a shop, and the first bass i try, i buy! And amazingly no regrets! Even more amazingly, i wasn't looking for anything like this. I wanted something like a MM, so an ATK or something along those lines. What did i get? An ibanez afb200! Its genius, it sounds just like a double bass. I LOVE IT. I'll get pics up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigging with it tonight for the first time down at The Duke Of York, Trench, Telford. If anyone lives local(ish) come down and hear how lovely it sounds. We're double headlining with Bassboy115's band inertia. I'm sure Bassdad will be there too. The more the merrier. Glad you've found the AFB.

parker_muse Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Its a beaut, really smooth and has the thump of a bull elephant. I bet it would sound the true dog's bollocks through something like a markbass. Its got the standard roundwounds on it at the moment... that won't be for long though!

paul, the Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Nice one, Parker! Aren't you a tall chap, though? Did the short scale feel odd at first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker_muse Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 A little, but in an odd way the depth of the body kind of offsets it. I've adjusted quickly, sounds great what jamming in blues scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
