Ankh Instruments Jazz Bass, $520

Post by NoXX »

Here's something a little different...

Not a company I was aware of previously, but I'm pleased to see they are dabbling in lefties. I love the bass color (pick guard is interesting), but I'd be a bit wary of this description:

"Third from last picture shows two off color marks, that show , but are smooth to the feel. The price has been lowered accordingly."

To my eye, it actually looks like a section of the neck was patched with an insert, as the lines/grain do not match up...

They do have two other lefty offerings for $580:

Finish looks a bit wonky on the neck pocket for the gold metallic version...sorry the pics are out of order- I'm inept at getting the upload flow right ;)

In the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful...

There is Definitely a chunk (and a Large one) out of the neck that was replaced with a patch... you have to wonder, What happened, and how-and-why that area got damaged, that required that large of a patch, and, how deep does it go? Considering that all the other basses being offered are the same cost as this one, this bass should be offered with at least a $100 discount... but if it's solid, it can always be a "conversation" piece... :)

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