TKL made, Ibanez logo. Very clean! Plush black interior, nicely padded, all well attached. Hinges and latches all work smoothly, lid strap in good shape. Four metal feet at bottom, three on back, and two on side opposite handle are all solid. Compare to others at $180! I believe TKL calls this a...
After trying LaBella's Gold flats tuned down 1/2 step, I wanted to give their LTF a try as Im a fan of round-core strings.
I'm mainly looking at their acoustic quality on ABG and how they compare with some of the other 'flats' I sampled; TIJF, Dogal Hellborg Flats, Aquilastrings Copper on...
First Impressions:
G 0.047" or 1.19mm
D 0.068" or 1.73mm broke 1" from tuner
A 0.086" or 2.19mm
E 0.109" or 2.76mm
B 0.128" or 3.25mm
The Labella 760 Gold flats are very similar (in feel) to the classic TIJF, though they're a touch stiffer, but a bit brighter (Im guessing to the 80/20 mix)...
Like new Martin acoustic bass with preamp and output jack, factory hardshell case, and Martin truss rod wrench. 34” scale. Aquila flat spiral strings and an extra opened but unused set. $1000. I live in Dayton TN, work in downtown Chattanooga. No shipping, and I may consider trade offers, but...
Installation
G .037” 0.94mm
D .054” 1.34mm
A .076” 1.93mm
E .091” 2.32mm *silks delicate/ratty
B .108” 2.74mm *silks delicate/ratty
Ball to Silk length 36±”
The wraps are nice smooth, but the B,E silks have much to be desired—they're a bit ratty out of the package. The...
I'm demo-ing a set of the Jens Schoenitz “polished" silver on nylon core strings. I found out about these strings while searching for a bass (and/or Luthier for a custom build). I was really excited about Jens’ Mummel and Zett basses, then happy to learn that he has also developed his own...
This has been along time coming... I received a set of Aquilastrings Round Spirals last ... Fall?? and Ive been meaning to post a demo for a while but work and family got in the way. Let me thank @Mimmo upfront for 1. sending me a pre-production set to demo 2. having incredible patience while...
Price drop due to small 1” crack at bottom of sound hole. It has been professionally repaired and given clean bill of health. The repair is not noticeable. Does not affect tone or playability. May have happened when I was having the pre amp checked.
Amazing all Mahogany ABG. Bar none one of the...
Amazing all Mahogany ABG. Bar none one of the best sounding acoustic basses around, so sweet and warm without amp and of course sounds amazing plugged in. I never really enjoyed playing an ABG, they always seem so lifeless, not this one. It is full size with 34” neck that I am sure gives it...
I have a Martin BCPA4 acoustic bass, 34” scale, and very sadly, the G string on a set of TI Jazz flats broke yesterday.
I could search for another G in the same brand, but I would like to find a different set, presumably flats, that are:
1. Just a little more taut in feel than the TI’s
2. Have...
I had bought a Fishman PreSys undersaddle pickup/mic/tuner upgrade for my ABG that I never got around to installing. Now that I've sold the bass, this is just sitting in my drawer. The Fishman Presys pickup is a nice improvement to standard OEM basic pickups including a mic/EQ/Tuner. 9V power...

$2000 OBO shipped via PayPal F&F.
Trades for medium scale 5 or 6 strings. Frets not required, but lines are.
Or a Double Bass. That would be sweet.
Cash either way as needed.
This is in VERY nice condition.

Magnetic (nmg) pickup is not registering on my low (5th/B) string on my Warwick Alien Thinline Deluxe 5-string acoustic bass. I think it's possible that it's defective - is it normal that the fretboard is not flush with the actual neck inside the sound chamber? (See pic) Can anyone please send...
SUPER EXPENSIVE ABG ALERT!!!!!
This instrument, in my experience, is the niche, within the niche of instruments.
It was absolutely a 'I just got divorced last year' purchase.
Can't say much about how it performs live.
Can say that it can hold up acoustically with two guitar players who are...

I used this bass at church over the years, so it was a weekly player and 'well-loved' with a few cosmetic-only dings—See Pics. Bass is solid, sounds great, and comes recently setup with new SIT Bronze strings, old D’addarios, and a NEW Gator Gig bag.

Newer models of the Warwick Alien ABG seem to have Shadow electronics instead of the Fishman ones. Which is better? How do they compare? Urgent! Thanks
Hello everyone, I was thinking of busking with some friends totally acoustically.
I've read online and watched some videos of fado bands where bass seems to resonate and project much better in tenor tuning.
Would my ABG blend well in a band with a singer, a guitalele and some small percussion...
I'm interested in the thinline deluxe Warwick Alien 5 string, but I can't seem to find reviews that aren't just promotions or salesmen. Can someone please tell me if these are quality instruments and worth the money? I particularly need to know if the string spacing (16.5mm) will be too narrow...
I'll be comparing against TI Jazz Round/Jazz Flat/Acousticore, Dogal Hellborg, Fisoma 2716, Aquilastrings Copper on Bioplastic, GHS pressure bronze, Labella 'Olinto' flats/Black/Gold-White tapes, Galli Synthesis on my Furch SW5 ABG, piezo pickup.
Im searching for a specific tone/feel, and all...
These are LaBellas new flats; 'fat-wound' on thin core. Theres plenty of EB samples out there.

I have a nice Dean model EAB Acoustic Bass Guitar that I don't use any more. It is in nearly brand new condition, no scratches or dings that I can find. I added a strap button to the lower part of the neck where it joins the body. Its a passive bass with a piezo pickup. No preamp so it uses...

Martin BCPA-4 acoustic bass: This was a purchase last fall at a local music store. It’s the most resonate, beautiful sounding ABG I’ve played without amplification (it can be plugged in). It’s in nearly flawless condition. Comes with the original case. Wearing TI Jazz flats with the D'addario...

I own quite a few ABG's of different makes, body sizes, scale lengths, body thicknesses, etc. I noticed that there are several Fender Bass Clubs, but no Fender ABG Clubs and yet I have come across at least eleven (11) different Fender ABG's.

I have a Tacoma Thunderchief 4 string ABG. I want to purchase a 5 string acoustic bass guitar. Ive seen the Warwick 5 string thin line that looks good. Kind of pricey for a made in China product. Anybody have good recomendations on a 5 string Acoustic bass guitar?

Appearently Aquilastrings has a new offering for those of us that are looking for a supple flat ABG string. For me 'the battle' is finding the right combination of Volume/Tone/Feel. I want to try these along side: TI AcoutiCore JR, Dogal Helloborg, Fisoma F2716. Also curious how the copper wrap...
Sorry, I know this has probably been asked a bunch of times. I'm just a guy who plays bass along with my favourite songs at home for personal enjoyment. I don't gig or play with friends at a party. I play it both amplified and acoustic.
I recently purchased an Ibanez AEGB24E acoustic bass...
Basically a bass version of classical guitar strings. They come in a variety of mensure, tensions, and tunings (its little confusing on the site). Available from Lordofthestrings.com or Lenzner direct.
I'll be comparing against TI jazz round/jazz flat/acousticore, Dogal Hellborg, GHS pressure...
Synthesis Flat
I just ordered a set of these and started the thread for discussion.
@HaphAsSard just turned me onto these strings over at the La Bella White vs Copper-White vs Gold-White? as Im eager to find the right set for my ABG with more of a nylon string sound than steel string sound...
I bought this off Reverb a few weeks ago. At the same time, I bought an Ibanez acoustic from a fellow TB'er. The Guild is better looking and has a nicer, model-appropriate gig bag. However, the Ibanez gets more playing time. I don't need two short scale acoustic basses. The Reverb seller...
