agroupuk Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hey all, I wanted to take a full size flightcased bass on hols next week but bought this instead (the one on the left obviously next to my old Ibanez) Its a Tanglewood Elfin Bass (EB-18MAH) Description: Double cutaway, 1/2 size bass guitar Solid body Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard Split/Single Pickup Tone & Volume controls Chrome bridge & tailpiece Die-cast machine heads Mahogany finish Its a sort of deep purple woodstain gloss finish and it sounds suprisingly alright ! Very well made for such a cheap item. I am gonna take the neck off and pop it in my hold all along with a headphone amp and MP3 player so I can hide from the wife and her family and practice a bit I am still chuckling everytime I pick it up its so small lol And before I get the piss taken out of me it only cost me £16.50 and an old combo I was gonna trade in anyway - so its a bargain. Cant wait to rock the open mic night with it hehe. Cheers! Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
