I've got an opt to buy one of these tonight for $200. Anybody here have one, or have any opinions on this particular 4 string bass?

Everything I've read online about it sounds good, but I'd love some first hand feedback.

New @ ZZ is $329

 

Thanka thanka!

GW.

Not this particualar bass but, in general, you WILL have to plug it in to be heard if you plan on playing with more than one acoustic guitar.

 

$200 is a pretty good price. If you don't already have one, you'll need a bass amp too. I would say nothing smaller that 50 watts if you want to have any hope of doing small, acousic gigs with it.

Be sure and test it both plugged-in and acoustically...the El Capitan models vary a lot, tonally...some = blechh:eek:...some = aaaaah:love:!

 

OTOH, IMABO, one of the most visually appealing A/E bass guitars made for under $1500.

Here's hoping that this one'll be a winner!

Thanx guys for the advice. This is my first bass and I really dunno squat about em. 'Cept that i want one for noodlin!

So I went and did the deal for $2 bills, the guitar is clean, it's the blonde version (didnt know that) It came with a HSC (didnt know that either) It's cutaway (another duh) and it's flawless! Needless to say I'm just tickled *hitless over the deal!

Here's the NGD pics... Lets toast some goat! :thu:
