Sign in to disble this ad
the band i play in will be performing at a benefit/poetry slam (yeh, i know) tonite, and i'm torn as to which bass to carry. i've used both in this band, and...well, the band can't tell the difference, sound-wise (they just know one is heavy and one is cute).
both play, feel and sound sweet to me, so it's a toss-up.
so, whatcha think?
edit: for reference:
the SX 
the TBC. 
(pic shows a 4 string, but mine is a 5er)

natural woody bass 
perfect for a poetry slam (does your guitarist have an acoustic?  )

Oh, I voted the TBC. |
