I just have a thing for US made guitars. Far superior to Chinese/Jap/Korean/Mex crap. Not that I'm bragging (or complaining)
but I have been around for a while and Fender/Gibson (US) are the real deal.

I had a Warwick Thumb for a while, great bass, just wasn't the "sound" I was looking for, and yes, it was like hanging a cinder block around your neck.

I do have a cheap Squire Strat that I mess around with, if you meant a 6 string bass, look at it is about all I'd do, I don't need a high e-stringWayne wrote:you should have a 6 string just to look at

But Steve Digiorgio is/was the bassist for Death, Sadus and Testament. He plays fretless and he's fucking great. He's one of (if not) my favorite metal bassists.

It could have been a number of things...doesnt a fretless have a lot less punch to it??

I wouldn't think so. You just have to be way more precise with finger placement on the fretboard. You have to get used to getting all the places where the sound resonates the loudest and most clearly.Jefferino wrote:Will dowarhead dime wrote:That's most likely what it was.

A pitty USA Gibson come with factory mistakes not too seldom, at least here.PABassPlayer wrote:I just have a thing for US made guitars. Far superior to Chinese/Jap/Korean/Mex crap. Not that I'm bragging (or complaining)

Actually my V had.
And I think 1200€ is quite a prize for a guitar and should be working fine.
Looks nice, not too fond of this shape, but if you like it more power to you.
How could you describe the sound?

I like that acoustic bass you have your wall.
I hate the look and sound of Gibson basses. Other than an EB-0, I would never own one.
I don't have a dream bass. I suppose I wouldn't mind having a Thumb bass or a Rickenbacker. I like my Fender Jazz just fine.

This one seems to be flawless, it was made in 1999 and has been sitting in the store for 6 years, the only reason it caught my eye was because it was natural finish. Most are sunburst, tobacco burst, black or antique white. I owned a Nikki Blackbird for awhile and as Pfloyd said, I hated the sound and there where no pots to shape the sound, it went to the highest bidder on ebay, I bought a thumb bass with the cash I got from it. While I loved the Thumb bass, it played awesome, it really only had one kind of tone, and playing in a cover band I needed something more versatile. The Jazz basses definatly fit the bill.
As far as the T-bird sound, booming bottom end. I can't get the "smooth" sound I get from the Jazz basses out of it, but for heavy stuff that you want definate note clarity from it does the job, ie: The Sickness or Symphony of Destruction. It hangs kinda funny and is a bit headstock heavy, it probably won't be my "main player" , but will be a great back up piece, and I'll probably keep it in D tuning because of the "booming" bottom end.

OH you're a natural finish fan?
Sounds cool, I never could give this kind of bass a sound out of my imagination.

I love Gibson... superiour to all.
But just so you all know, the only difference between a 500 dollar Korean made guitar, and the 1000 dollar American version is that the USA made version got some extra attention at the hands of a professional luthier. You can make a Korean made guitar just as good as a USA made if you take it to a shop and have a pro-setup done on it.
I know this to be fact. When I was 17 I had a Korean made Fender Stratocaster and did just that to it. It played and sounded just as good as a USA made.

thats great for a "daily player", but if you want something that will definatly appreciate in cost, that will never happen with a foreign made axe. I've never see a 60 to 80,000.00 Epiphone, but have seen some US Gibsons in that range. You keep a US Fender or Gibson in good shape and in 20 years it's worth 5 times what you paid. I am far from a collector, but have a few friends that are and I ususally buy on there advice.The Doctor wrote:I love Gibson... superiour to all.

I play them all, but I don't abuse them, and yeah, you never know what will become a collectable, but a 30 year old Fender or Gibson are worth a good chunk of change, and sometimes used and worn raises the value.
I currently have my eye on a '68 Fender P, it's outragously priced, but if you got the money, well....you know.
