Re: Ankh Instruments Jazz Bass, $520

Nice looking basses, but really hard to find any reviews of them anywhere.

Re: Tuning Down, and Back Up....

My current band toggles between some songs in standard tuning and some a half-step down, and I love the Digitech Drop pedal:

Re: Zon Sonus 519

That is just about my dream bass, but there is no way in hell I could spend that much on a bass, and especially not while I'm looking to buy a house with my girlfriend :cry:

GLWTS!

Yes, buying a bass like that would probably mean no house... and also no girlfriend! :D

Beautiful bass! Someone ...

Re: Kiesel-TB5- Pink -Headless- Reverb

I'm fine with headless basses, and I genuinely dig pink basses. But this combination is all wrong. Yuck.

Re: G&L L-1000 -- $1k Reverb

A last follow-up: it arrived this morning, and I am smitten. It's a total powerhouse, the build is impeccable, it's lightweight and well-balanced, just a wonderful instrument.

This is the third G&L I've owned, and every one of them has been a jewel. I am a fan.

Yes, I remember agonizing back then over whether I had the funds to jump in. I didn’t. But I’ve been saving gig money, so this one is music paying for itself. :)

Re: Feeler: Alleva-Coppolo KBP-5

Really sorry to hear about your struggles, musicfreak. Hoping for better days for you ahead.

Good luck with the sale. And in the meanwhile, play that beautiful bass a bit! I hate to think of that thing sitting without fingers on it....

Re: Feeler: Alleva-Coppolo KBP-5

Gorgeous bass!

I'm still trying to get my head around the whole "I ordered it, waited 4+ years for it, played it for less than 3 hours, and it has sat untouched for months" thing. Are you injured? Is the bass that awful to play? This story isn't computing--I must be missing something!

Hey, I know this bass! :D

As the original owner: this thing is light, comfortable, and sounds huge. It's a great deal at this price.

Yes, this! Maybe in the fall, if this is still available and things break right financially. But can't do it now. :(

Re: Kiloton on the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

So, how is it? Can we get a review?

Note: given that I am majorly GASsing for one of these, and have no financial prospects for getting one in the foreseeable future, a review with some combination of "hangs like an anchor on my shoulder, major neck dive, sits terribly in the mix, weak G string ...
