Delta King Club. for OB-20 owners

[BuffaloBill]

Yes, it's a club for owners of the Oscar Schmidt OB-20, Delta King.
Named for BB King probably, because it resembles his Lucile.
As soon as I saw this bass, I new it was for me.
It's a Gibson inspired bass from top to bottom, (very low bottom too).
It gives a deep humbucker sound, the pickup right at the neck helps that.
If you're a Blues bassist you'll dig this one. The body is gorgeous and it's really a solid body, but the hollow wings do give a little sound when you're playing unpluged. It sold for about $300. back in 2006.
You won't want to bust this over some looser's head, (grab the nearest Fender for that). I only wish they made a sunburst version.
You Delta Kings better join into this club!

I have a blue one and absolutely love it! Love the short scale and big body. The sound is awesome and the action is quick. I play mostly Chicago style Blues and Blues/Rock. This axe is perfect for that style. If I had to sell all my basses except one, this is the one I'd keep.

Is that a set neck or bolt on?

[Bluesman32092]

But this bass has such amazing lows, it's not an issue. I also have a Taurus T25 Neck thru and the sound isn't much different.

Hey guys! I've had this bass, in black, for years.. and I love it dearly. I have some questions if you guys don't mind..

1. How can I join this 'owners club' =) ..I'm glad there is one lol.

2. I'm having the darnest time trying to find a hard case for my OB-20, preferably the guitar-shaped ones and NOT the rectangular ones. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks guys, hope to talk to ya more in the future

I can't believe it took so for a response, I gave up.

deltaheavy777, you're in! Just have to post!
Best of luck finding a case, maybe Ibanez makes a case that will fit, they used to build a similar bass, so did Samick, and Epiphone makes the Jack Casady.

Bluesman32092, have you put a yardstick on your bass? I think they're all 34", that's standard long scale for electric bass.
I was one . from buying the blue, NICE.

I still got mine, still number 1, and I've tried a many others, but this is the keeper! Never gonna mod it either.
I've had fender 9120 nylon strings on it since right away, I tried nickle wound but went right back to nylon.
