Members King Kashue Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 There are a lot of folks who say they'd never play a Samick... Chances are, a lot of those folks already have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassgirl9 Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I loved my Samick. Best darn 5 string I ever... owned. I was going to say Played, but that would be a lie. I played a Tobias once that absolutely killed it and I also played a Dingwall that was amazing, but those were different times and I was a different player then.

Members BottomHeavyKate Posted October 14, 2008 Members Share Posted October 14, 2008 I loves my samick accoustic guitar!!!! My daddy bought it for me when I was 16....he picked it out based on the color and it ROCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted October 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Samick 5ver I played had too tight of a string spacing for me to enjoy. Other people might like the narrow spacing. Also, fit and finish on it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 I loved my Samick. Best darn 5 string I ever... owned. I was going to say Played, but that would be a lie. I played a Tobias once that absolutely killed it and I also played a Dingwall that was amazing, but those were different times and I was a different player then. I've told you about my coloured abomination, the older version of yours (I got it when I was 15). Still can't find those old pics of it though, one more box to look through. It's a must see. I will get it up here eventually. It was a solid bass though, it was my main bass for 11 years. I had an early 90's Warwick, a mid 80's Ric 4003, hell, you name it I owned it at one point, but I never parted with it through it all. It was the staple in my stable. If I was still in contact with the girl I sold it too, I'd buy it back purely for nostaligic purposes. It's earned it's place on my wall next to the Strat, got it a few months after. I learned how to repair and mod on it. It's rather altered shall we say. haha Odds are it got tossed in the trash at some point since then. It was quite the eyesore to begin with, but after my mods, it had a look and sound only it's father could love. I am STILL hunting for a Samick guitar that I owned for a day once. I bought it to flip, BIG mistake... it RULED!! No idea the model, can't find info to save me. It came out circa 1998-99, trans blue finish, cream PG with 3 black P90's on an angle, maple FB. I called it a surf guitar for lack of a better description, but man I loved that thing. Sounded like nothing else I had ever heard. It's one of the only instruments left on my bucket list that I'll own again somehow one day. The RB950 was one of those basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my love affair with chords was largely fostered by it's tight spacing and 24 frets, (frets are closer together on a 24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was much more difficult on my MTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cpt. Spliff Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 Has anyone tried their Remington Bass with the Baggs-system ?The ads for it claimed that it sounded more accoustic than an accoustic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bogster Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 My Custom samick-amber with 5 piece bubinga/wenge neck was kickass. Better than a lot of Iby's, ESP's, etc that I've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hearafter Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I own a Samick 'Greg Bennet' Torino (SG-style guitar). Sounds and plays pretty sweet. I also owned an acoust-electric, and am picking up another acoustic tomorrow.I almost bought a bass at one point, but then I found a Westone Spectrum at the pawn shop for $62. I don't know about the basses, but the guitars are very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bogster Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 I don't know about the basses, but the guitars are very underrated. Same with the basses. They have their cheapy crap just like any company, but they've got some gems, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 My very first 6-string was/is a Samick. It's a piece, but, whattaya expect? I think it was $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
