zacclowes Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Got this yesterday Fully aluminium bass in a travis bean tb1000 body shape. Black anodised body and humbuckers. Sounds awesome through my little at home amp. Can't wait to play it through my meatsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitrobot Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 wow. Seriously, how metallic does it sound? Is it like a resonator guitar kind of sound or just normal? I'm a [i]bit [/i]of a tonewood sceptic so I'm curious about this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I follow this lot on fb. It looks obscenely good, congrats! Are these the ones the guy from Torche plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacclowes Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Hey everyone. Thanks for the nice comments. There are some extra overtones from the bass. I'm not sure it's from the hollow body because on these instruments the neck goes through solid to the bridge like a neck through bass. The pickups and the bridge are bolted to the neck thro part and it's a really solid set up. This gives a really fast note attack and seems all the string energy goes into sound. The spectrum of sound you can hear ringing out is amazing really full from the low bass fundemental to super high harmonics and pick noise. Sounds kind of like a jazz bass or Rick on steroids It wasn't cheap.
