dub_junkie Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I asked about this bass. I said ‘Is this your bass?” Wasn’t expecting the reply “it will be in five minutes” 😂😂 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 How’s it play? How’s it sound? Short scale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I plays beautifully. It sounds lush. jabba_the_gut does make exceedingly nice basses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 32" (I think, @Jabba_the_gut will be along in minute to correct me!) It has a glassy element to the sound that I love but it's so round and rich too. I would have no problem playing dub with it, it's got a huge sound, exactly the sound I have been looking for for decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good I did not know about it. Otherwise, I would have spent money I don't really have or at least not for yet another bass 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hmm.. you had given up bass... Thought that wouldn't last long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It sounded fabulous at the bash. I can't remember who was playing it, probably @owen, but it is a beautiful solo instrument. You could play anything on it. Except "Mustang Sally", obviously. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is that hole a cigarette holder so you don’t have those brown burns across the headstock or a finger hole for spinning it around your head 80’s metal style? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Looks like a great bass. I have watched some of Jabba's builds, and they always look superb. Lucky you @Frank Blankto have acquired such a fine instrument. Happy NBD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
