Acoustic bass fetish club

[Out_of_Toon]

Well I browsed TB for days and couldn't find an Acoustic Club, so I hereby proclaim myself the founding member of the AFC - Acoustic Fetish Club.

Yes I like those things in appearance more than the regular ones so it's a fetish club. You don't need to be a fetishist to join.

So go ahead and post the pics and I'll hand out numbers

Here are mine for starters:

Ibanez AEB-8 :



The obscure brand of Da Capo, currently in the process of defretting (will post pics when it's done) :



Let the carnival begin!

Do Rob Allens count? i don't even own one but those things are gorgeous!

 

[adronchase361]

Rob Allens simply rule. They're beyond beautiful, seriously.

That's a really fine specimen


Not sure about hollow basses, if there isn't already a club, then those are welcome too

You two could be Club interns until you get one of your own. Hell, I'll even save you a parking spot

Sweet. Who knows, I might get one soon. I've been GASsing badly for one.

bass-shy's #2. My first full member

And well deserved, that's one really neat thing

At least you guys can have a variety of things to choose from. So far I've found about 6 AEB's for sale in my hometown

Although Im dedicated Rob Allen fan I suggest we leave them in the Rob Allen forum>>>>they're not really acoustic.

Consider these JTH acoustic basses: massively expensive. elegant design.

I dont think I'll ever break down a buy one....

I played one at a luthier's convention a couple years ago. Very nice bass - well built. Definitely louder than your average ABG. I'm not into the usual bright, zingy bronze strings that it had (like on most ABGs), so I can't really comment on the tone. With some TI Acousticores I bet it would sound awesome . And I like that there's another cutout on the top edge of the body, pointed towards the player, so you can hear yourself better. That price scares me though...

Can I join?

My Ibanez AEB10E

 

[DanielleMuscato]

I'd love to try one of those Kasha/Schneider (JTH) basses, but they are so darn expensive @ $9k+, I don't even think I should!

I don't own an ABG but a Taylor is on my GAS-list.
