Tippie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 [quote name='owen' post='536656' date='Jul 9 2009, 06:03 PM']As far as I know it is in excellent condition. I have no idea what the pick up is. I will get Tim to chime in. Cheers.[/quote] Hey Guys, this is Tim (the owner of the Curbow 5). The bass is 2 years old, there are no faults with the guitar, everything works fine. The pick-up is a Bartolini Mrk1. The guitar is missing the G string, but the strings will need changing anyway... Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about how it was supposedly done, but unfortunately can't remember the actual details. Gorgeous though. And those ebanol fretboards are so nice...

Don't remember a price being on it. Played one of the Tanglewood ones when they came out and was suitably impressed. I reckon you should get it, you'll regret it later!

alexlotta Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Dunno About the bass , But that Finish IS Killer ,i would take something like that to replace pictures on the wall if not more. ..Or a carbon/composite/graphite high-end bass with that finish it would fancy --too much maybe-- Gonna investigate ,maybe is just the Shadow-light pattern of the picture that gives this marvellous result. Mystic ice crazer i saw often looks different to me Edited July 11, 2009 by alexlotta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The bass has a luthite/ebanol construction IIRC. Also i think they did different colours of this finish, the silvery one is the one you see on the net all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlotta Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Never got into the sound Of those cort ebonol guys . Yep The "Mystic Ice" I think You mean,but this one has a different pattern (much classier ,less Chaotic--Less "crazy",at least for my tastes ) and looks Even More "silvery" ,that's why i fancy the finish,with the black shadow staining into silver . Provided With a more unconventional Shape,it would be an Eye catcher. I had a look on the Cort Color page, But that one looks different ,unless there is A Just a casualty of this one or a game of picture-lights. [url="http://www.cort.co.kr/english/tip/tipColor01.asp"]http://www.cort.co.kr/english/tip/tipColor01.asp[/url] It looks like a cros Between Faded trans (ftb) and Mystic ice "Silvery".

[quote]I reckon you should get it, you'll regret it later! Comes in a nice gig bag too.....[/quote] Hahaha. Please don't encourage me. I love my Curbow, but right now my money would be better spent on a cab than a sister for her. Edited July 11, 2009 by Eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
