lee650 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone For sale is my Samick HFB 590,made in 1995/6 Samick make guitars for all of the big companies (gibson/fender/take mine etc) and for a time brought out their own brand. This is from the Artist series and has lovely MOP inlays on the headstock. It is two tone sunburst and maple construction with a lovely bound rosewood fingerboard. It looks like a lovely archtop jazz guitar with F holes,its Extremely well made with a nice deep but comfortable body and a lovely slim neck. Its quite loud for home practice,I used it to learn songs without plugging in. It has a preamp with three band eq and battery tester,it is currently strung with Elixir phosphor bronze strings. It also comes with a specially fitted hard case. Id be wanting £265 incl UK only delivery Or £250 collected from Morecambe Info on Samick (link fixed) http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Artist_Series Cheers 😁 Edited June 9, 2017 by lee650
Bassman72 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I use to own one of these. Great bass...regret getting rid of it. Mine had a hole in the base near the strap button for fitting a spike so it could be played like an upright. Despite the name and country of origin, Samick do some very good stuff, and this bass is living proof! GLWTS! Edited April 13, 2017 by Bassman72
lee650 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Thanks Bassman You're absolutely right! It is a really well made instrument and sounds fantastic,It's miles better than the Washburn AB10 I previously had. Currently gassing for a P bass so something had to go Edited April 14, 2017 by lee650
