Members Mr.Mow Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 I was looking at Jazz basses and Thunderbirds.. The JBs left me a bit meh.. the Thunderbirds for some strange reason are expensive in Australia.. I think I may have narrowed it down to either one of these.. they cost the same.. keeping in mind I have a P-Bass and an SG bass.. A Gibson LP bass.. lots of em kicking around at the mo here in Melbourne.. 34" scale, heavy as hell, but feel nice.. I found a resonably light one, played like butter, but some fool had left it hanging from a non nitro friendly hanger Or.. A Duesenberg Starplayer.. I have a Duesenberg V-Caster.. so good I sold my Fender custom shop Strat.. These are not some 'novelty design' instrument, they make seriously nice stuff.. having said that.. I have to order one of these unseen.. they are a short scale though 30" Spruce top, maple sides semi acoustic, twin humbuckers.. Either trans orange (very Gretsch) Or black (mmm.. classy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr.Mow Posted January 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 I like the bottom one.Was never really fond of Les Paul basses. I'm thinking the semi, with flats, short scale and humbuckers will be ultra fat sounding.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Perfessor Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 They do look cool, but I'm not a fan of 30" scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr.Mow Posted January 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 They do look cool, but I'm not a fan of 30" scale. Yeah, I have to say its the ONE thing thats stopping me ordering one right away, my SG is short scale.. I love it.. But it does have a distinct feel..

Members t3ch Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 The orange one! I wish it was a gretsch (that's what i thought first looking at it); then I might be able to afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Mow Posted January 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Meh, doesn't matter anyway..No Duesenbergs in the country, need to special order it from Germany.. So..
