zatoichi Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Hi all my gorgeous Takamine TB10 is up for sale: I've tried loads of acoustic basses (and owned a Warwick Alien for years) - the Takamine is the best. It really is as close as you can get to a double bass sound with an acoustic bass. Sounds good acoustically and records well with close miking. For live or recording the built-in cool tube preamp sounds really rich and thick straight into the desk or amp. It's generally in superb condition, with a few light dings here and there as you'd expect. There was slight damage to the 1/4" jack socket from the previous owner, so I had it professionally repaired and made good with a new jack plate by Noden Guitars on Denmark Street. Solid as a rock now. I also had fret dots inlaid into the top of the neck to make it easier to play accurately. There is a slight ding in the E string around the note C which doesn't affect tone or playability, but is feelable, so you may want to replace that. It has a brass spike that can be used to play the bass standing in upright position. Lastly it comes with an amazing crocodile-effect hard case. Heavy, very rock and roll, fantastic for photo shoots and generally making an entrance! Bought in for a project which now ended, and it's too nice to leave around as decoration. I'll be sad to see it go though! Currently also listed on eBay with a low starting price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Takamine-TB10-superb-electro-acoustic-bass-guitar-Warwick-Tacoma-Breedlove/302896570728?hash=item46860ae168:g:xJwAAOSwyEdbqS5P I'm based in Walthamstow E17, very near the tube, or can meet up anywhere around central London.

petierdei Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hey, not sure I understand what you mean by slight ding in the E string. Is the damage on the string or any part of the guitar? thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zatoichi Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi Peter, I meant the string itself has a little dent on it. Academic now - I did some recording with the bass this morning and realised I don't want to part with it! Withdrawing from sale Best, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
