OutToPlayJazz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Was in a local music store today & they had one of the new Contemporary Club basses in. What a difference to the violin bass I had up until this summer. The club sits well on the knee & has a lovely thick sound, much less reedy than the vb! Try one!

[/quote] Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick is endorsing these. I think he uses a 3 pup version of one of these... not sure if it is 'his' signature model or that he just happens to be using one. Silly money though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yes, the CT's are much cheaper. More modern sounding with the sustain block inside & reasonably priced at £425. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 My Club isn't a modern one ... [attachment=13800:DSCF1215.JPG] [attachment=13799:DSCF1214.JPG] 1964 original, with slight revisions to the original colour scheme by a psychedelic German hippy about five years later. The re-fin was done using household gloss paint with a 2" brush. I'm not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nearly bought one the other week on a whim - lovely little basses - superb almost `rickenesque' tones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
