Show Us Your Basses (Part 2)

@cursedchi

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forums but have been playing for awhile now. I wanted to share my current rig as I just finished building up a more minimalist pedalboard and am very excited about it

Hello @cursedchi and welcome! Beautiful looking bass and cool pedal board!

[Andrea_FI]

@cursedchi

Thanks! It has been a lot of fun to build and kind of restrict myself. Really helps dissuade GAS.

It looks very nice! GAS can be dissuaded for a limited amount of time, I think.

@cursedchi

and I just noticed the cat hair on my floor in that picture and am a little embarrassed

Oh that? Relax, you haven’t seen our apartment here. We have a white husky-mix. The shedding never ends!

I’ve really wanted to try one of these. I like the sound of semi-acoustic basses but they’re typically a large body which I don’t like.

I wanted to try before buying, but couldn’t find them around here. So I just read reviews and watched videos, and decided to order mine from Thomann. It didn’t disappoint. It has a great sound, and I think it is mostly because of the pickups, and in part because of the semi hollow body, but I’ve read that the larger (proper) semi-hollow basses have an ever better tone.

@kamikos

This one looks to be about the same size body as a normal solid-body. I dig the short scales as well.

It is a little smaller, though. The body is smaller than my Squier’s. The body is also a lot shorter, especially if we don’t take the horns into account.

Here’s a picture from another angle. (The black finish is so shiny, so there is a lot of reflections on it)

@RBC64

Very cool looking bass

Thank you!

@RBC64

You know after the 2nd it’s hard to stop lol

It is a serious possibility, and well documented in this forum. I “think” these 2 basses will be enough for a long time. Long is open to interpretation, I know. And I would like to have a headless bass one day, but I’m not in a hurry.

@MikeC

Huge congrats! The Longhorn is an amazing bass. Fantastic tone and playability. I very much miss the one I played in a band.

Thank you, Mike! Maybe you can get a new one? Now they have even more colors to choose from.

@Al1885

It’s oddly comfortable to play for such an interesting looking bass.

It is! I thought maybe it wouldn’t be as comfortable as the Squier (which allows for a more comfortable rest for the plucking hand), but it is so light. Easy to play standing up too.

@Al1885

Love the red binding even on the F hole. (I was going to comment this on my original post but it wouldn’t have gone very well, )

[Andrea_FI]

@MikeC

It’s extremely comfortable to play, whether standing or seated.

With a strap, it just floats in your hands. Sitting down, it nestles into your lap like a puppy.

And it fucking roars while doing either.

True! It is light as a breeze.

I thought it even looks like a bass puppy compared to my Squier. It is so tiny!

[Andrea_FI]

@Barney

The extremely important point is that you love it.

Also it has 1960’s Adam West Batmobile vibes. Which is never a bad thing IMHO.

Oh my, it is true! Batmobile! Now I can’t unsee it!

[Andrea_FI]

@John_E

Amazing color and looks great on that shape.

If we mate yours and mine we might just end up with a Batmobile for @Barney

Thank you! The color makes it super cool, and suddenly it looks modern too!

Our basses together would most certainly generate a Batmobile, with these colors!

[Andrea_FI]

@TheMaartian

@howard

That color combo fixes Longhorns for me.

I sat on the fence for a long time, but the Black Red finally got me. I bought mine last March.

Interesting how much difference the colors make! Shiny black makes it cool and modern. My heart melted when I saw the Black Red for the first time when you @TheMaartian posted a picture. It is so beautiful and awesome.

[Andrea_FI]

Hello @drburr and welcome! Seriously awesome basses! You transformed the $70 bass into a badass machine, and very nice looking too!

Thank you, Mike! Maybe you can get a new one? Now they have even more colors to choose from.

I could use another bass like a drowning man needs a tall glass of water.

Honestly, the color of a Longhorn would never be a consideration to me. It’s the feel and the tone that are the only factors important to me. The one I owned was the Copperburst. I didn’t like its looks, but how it played blew all of that away.

Again, big congratulations to you. I believe you’ll have tons of fun with yours.

@sunDOG

Oh, wow, I’m kind’a GAS’ing for one of those…!!

It is worth it. Go for it!

@sunDOG

She ROCKS!!

She really does! I love Måneskin.

@sunDOG

From Duran Duran’s Halloween show. Sadly, not my pic, but I was there!

I have to look for it on YouTube. Interesting costume!

[Vinced236]

My GSR200 has a battery too. Always have to remember to unplug when finished……

[K_Miller]

WOW!!! Thanks for the education!!!

My ‘97 Hamer Cruise. Seymour Duncan vintage jazz bass pickups, and sustain for days. Makes me happy every time I strap it on

[Barney]

@lj

sustain for days

[jeffw]

OK … not a bass but the Fender Standard Telecaster I was given by the family for my 70th birthday last week! Excited to share!

[johnnybarefeet]

That’s gorgeous! And happy birthday !

[jeffw]

Thank you!
