OutToPlayJazz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Played one of these in Electro today. It was the natural one with the skunk stripes. Sounded lovely, but the neck felt half finished and rough as a badger's arse. Nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecklenburg Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) I played on that same bass yesterday. It looked great, I agree with the feel of the neck. I didn't enjoying playing it as much as I thought. It's put me right off buying one. I much prefered playing on the Burns Bison bass they had there. I just don't think the T-Bird Pro's sound of the way it plays is for me - my main bass is a fretless fender jazz. Also just to add, the price was £349 - which I think is the same as some on-line retailers? The Gibson T-bird sitting next to it was about £950. Also had some Tokai's for about £300.

KevB Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I noticed they had a natural one in Fuzz or whatever it's called in Nottm. Didn't play it, not even sure they have a decent bass amp on site yet. No price tag that I could see but I did have a quick stroke of the neck (trying not to look like some shifty perv) and it felt OK on the finish.

Buzz Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If the neck is only a bit rough on the back, bit of wire wool on it to smooth it down would work a treat. When I get around to trying one I'll have a looksie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
