Members CitizenErased Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 Ok guys,Being that I come from England I have had very little experience with SX stuff,can anyone tell me why they are so popular?I tried a SX guitar that an american friend had brought over here and tbh it sounded awful, even on the clean channel it sounded dirty because the pickups were so bad!whats so special about them?

Members mlwarriner Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 they're a *decent* piece of gear, with a very small price tag. for the purchase price, and a small amount of upgrade money, you can have a very good bass for the bucks.

Members RustyBass Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 which basses would you recomend? Ive seen a black scorpion SJB62K and a SB301 on ebay. Are they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RustyBass Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 Seen the reviews now. They look very tempting! Can't seem to find the same J-bass as the ones reviewed? Theres plenty of 62 jazz basses. just can't find the one im looking at one ebay. Its got a 'K' on the model number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlwarriner Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 AFAIK, they're all about the same, give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CitizenErased Posted March 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 ah so its decent necks + bodies on them?Kinda like the old squiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 ah so its decent necks + bodies on them?Kinda like the old squiers? The necks are fine, though the fret ends *might* need a bit of dressing. The bodies are solid wood (2 or 3 pieces) and not particle board like you'd find in other basses in the price range. The basses are good, cheap instruments that are fun and easy to mod for relatively little money. They're a great deal in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Enderz13 Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 U get what U pay 4. The frets are a little rough and they tend to be a tad on the heavy side and pickups not very warm. Other than that, they sure look fetching:snax: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 U get what U pay 4. The frets are a little rough and they tend to be a tad on the heavy side and pickups not very warm. Other than that, they sure look fetching:snax: i found them totally the opposite. frets on mine were very good, no sharp frets. my bass and guitar are both pretty light. the pickup in the bass wasnt that bad. it sounded ok stock.

Members TN.Frank Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 Think of the SX as the old AC Bristol, it was an ok car but when Carol Shellby got a hold of it and stuck a Ford V8 into it the rest was History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 The frets on mine are absolutely horrible. The damn things fell off during shipment! Oh wait, nm... No complaints with my fretless SX. Well, except for the strings that came on it... Holy dear god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 I own an SX 5 string bass and an SX Telecaster guitar copy. I'm highly satisfied with both; several people have played them and commented on how nice they played and felt. I had to overhaul the electronics on the bass but even so, I would gladly have paid $200 for just the bass without pickups and pots. It's that nicely built and finished. Here's some pr0n: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Smokinfiddler Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 SX Makes Excellent quality Guitars at a Inexpensive priceI really dont see how they make such a good Instrument for so little dough. they must have a very fast production rate with few mistakes on the line.from what I have seen the guitars are also constructed from high grade materialsand I really dont understand what the craze is all about modifying the instruments because they sound fantastic right out of the box!

Members Twangster Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 Rusty I have the SB301 and the SX SPJ-62 . Can't go wrong with either. The 301 is smaller/lighter of the two. I've really had great luck as far as quality goes with the SX line. Zero fret issues etc. Haven't made any mods to either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
