jmchich Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silent-Bass-4-String-Brown-Anthracite-/370872570705 Now that's strange. Quite ugly, and I can't think it sounds very good either. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm almost willing to take a punt on that. Not that ugly, IMHO. It'll sound like any other piezo equiped bass. Might be better with new piezo bridge but for that price you're not going to loose much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I really like the look of that. I'm glad they don't do it as fretless because then I'd be very, very tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I bought a cheap double neck silent guitar. It doesn't sound very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Higginson Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I own a left handed, fretless 4-string one of these- different brand name but identical otherwise. The build quality isn't great and it's as silent as any other unplugged electric bass, yet I've used it on a few acoustic recordings and sits nicely in a mix. I think I'd get a few looks if I rolled up to a gig with the badboy O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's hardly a new concept, the Aria [s]Sinusoido[/s] Sinsonido has been around for years, although the headstock is at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still quiet overall, but there is a big difference between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
