I also don't know if you have Tacoma over there, but I'm really happy with mine. I know it's not in the same league as those you mention but I'm working to a budget and time. So, of the ones I had the opportunity to try, this Ibanez sounded and felt the best to play. Thanks for the thoughts guys but, we don't have those basses here in the UK as far as I know and my need is for something I can get quickly before next week Tuesday. If you go to or it may be you can hear samples of each. They have neck action similar to electrics. They feature quilted maple tops, backs and sides which are plywood constructed both on the outside and inside surface. I have a 5 string fretless and fretted, and they have held up well. Michael Kelly makes a really good for the money ABG. There was a dean bass there also but the neck and action was dire.

Rehearsals start tomorrow or Wednesday so any views would be welcome. They want £300 for it but I'll get them to drop it if I turn up with the cash. Not loud acoustically but sounded good through the acoustic bass amp.ĭo you have any experience with this bass. I tried this bass out today very quickly and it sounded ok and the neck was the better of the ones in the shop. I've called the stores around and there is not much variety. I have this morning been asked to play bass on an unplugged session for an artiste next week.īut I need to get an acoustic bass for the gig. The highly lightweight body coupled with the unique bolt-on neck make this a comfortable guitar filled with vintage and collector character.Hi Guys, I'm in need of some fast advice. I personally think the minor scratches just add some extra vintage character to the guitar and make it that much better-again, there is not anything that should affect playability. This is an extremely rare and historical left-handed guitar, while simultaneously sounding, playing, and looking amazing.

Feel free to contact me if you would like additional information on the specs. If you would like additional images or angles, I can send those over to you. I have listed every imperfection that I have located on the guitar, and attached images to try capturing them. Included in your purchase are additional neck shims so that you can adjust the neck angle as needed and so that your tech doesn't upcharge you for something like this. Again, a setup should be able to fix this. I am a righty, so I cannot give my feedback as to the playability of the guitar, but the action does look high to me.

I would recommend a professional setup as well in order to maximize playability. There is also a portion next to the neck joint where extra epoxy seems to have collected. This can also be fixed pretty easily by yourself or by your local guitar tech. There is also three small divots in the back of the neck, all close to each other. On the back, there is a small section with white scratches on the finish. There are also a few washers missing from the tuning pegs and underneath the pre-amp controls, but these can be easily replaced at a hardware store for less than a few dollars.

There is another area where the finish is slightly cracked on the other side of the neck joint.

This is barely noticeable if you are not actively playing the guitar. There is also a partially raised/warped portion of the body next to where the neck meets the body. Firstly, the binding on the back is partially separated from the body. However, there are some cosmetic imperfections that do not inhibit playability or functionality, thus earning a "good" condition. Not only is it easier to play, but it also looks extremely unique. But by far the best part of this guitar is the electric-style bolt-on neck. The piezo pickup system and active pre-amp provide simple on-board controls to further customize your tone. Plugged in, the tonal range is seemingly endless. To my ears, the raw tone is surprisingly great. I have repaired the electronics, done some body work, properly shimmed the neck, re-stored the fretboard, resoldered the battery connection, and loaded the guitar with brand new Elixir Light Phosphorous Bronze Nanowebs.

This Ferrington was partially restored, and all parts are stock. Ferringtons were also played by renowned guitarists and bassists such as Eddie Van Halen and Gene Simmons. Ferringtons were groundbreaking guitars that launched the guitar world's exploration into the acoustic-electric category of instruments. Although Kramer has never specified the exact number of left-handed Ferringtons produced, only 8 are publicly known to exist and even less were produced in the KFS-1 model. This is a vintage (either 1986 or 1987) Kramer Ferrington KFS-1.
