Cat Burrito Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) [attachment=235173:IMG_0100.JPG] I only picked this up a few months ago and it was destined to be a keeper UNTIL I bought a Gibson. Now strict "at home" rules dictate it is sitting around too much to be kept. A shame as it is a stunningly cool and different bass. It was bought to help me realise any Rick Danko fantasies I may have (although I had opted for the fretted version. I had it professionally set up with flatwound strings and added a tiny Ampeg logo to the upper horn, as per the original that it was based on. This is effectively (in true basschat tradition) a virtually brand new bass available at a fraction of the RRP. Weight wise it is fairly average, a nice solid wood which is lightened by the cut out F holes and the fact it is a fairly small body. The neck is great and it got the most comments I have ever had playing a bass guitar on the one gig I did with it (literally about 7 different musicians came up to me to ask about it). Kind of like a halfway home between an old school P bass and an upright. I'm based in Swindon and at present I don't have a hard case to ship it in but I can be flexible about being around.

Cat Burrito Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Unhurried bump (it's a great bass, confident it will sell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 The laziest bump, relaxed in the knowledge that I have not breached the no excessive bumping rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesBguitar Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Big Rick Danko fan and had looked at getting one of these for myself but unfortunately just wouldn't work with my current band. A hell of a lot cheaper than the Ampeg one. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
