Still might go for it, I'm just not wild about that "teardrop sunburst" finish... Tis true. Im selling mine regrettably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for those Artcores....I only got to play one for a few minutes and liked it. You can only get the single cutaway here and I far prefer the double like KTs.

Members bholder Posted February 22, 2006 Members Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've got 2 of those EA260s, one's near mint, the other's in pretty rough shape. I had one back in the 70's that I now wish I'd never sold, but that's why I picked one up again. I might consider selling the rougher one if I can get it fixed up a bit first. I've never played a Rivoli, but I've never really seen them as all that interesting compared to the EA260. I recently won this, too, another curious take on a semi-hollow: I'm working on cleaning it up now, should work out pretty neat. Took that single coil apart, and found it was a regular 6 pole guitar single coil, so that's one thing that's definitely getting changed (I'll put a blade style stacked or dual coil humbucker in there instead). The Jack Casady model rules, though, as does Jack himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bd's_bass Posted February 22, 2006 Members Share Posted February 22, 2006 +1 to all the comments about the Casady. I picked one up in a trade deal a few months ago and it has quickly become my main axe. I love the tone-- very mellow and woody, to balls out grind. And I love the way it looks and feels. As far as neck dive-- I just moved the strap button to the upper horn and it's not too bad. A nice wide strap helps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted February 23, 2006 Members Share Posted February 23, 2006 You...want...this... Harmony H22. If you can get one under $500, BUY IT. Having said that, the Artcore is a nice bass. It's knda neat that hollowbody basses are coming back in style again. They can offer some really nice tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted February 23, 2006 Members Share Posted February 23, 2006 My toss-up would be between a Jack Casady, and a Lakland hollowbody: I've played both, and liked both. I LOVE the neck of the Lakland. It would really be a showdown between the two, to find which I liked better overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hideously tacky without managing to be so hideously tacky that it becomes cool. Blech. I agree on the Italia Mondials, though (at least some of them).
