Arbor basses..

[iplaybasstexas]

Just stopped by my local pawn shop, and saw a couple of these. I grabbed on, plugged in to a combo, and played.

it was WAY better than i expected! They may only have copy basses right now, but they look to be of great quality. Way better than the Ibanez next to it!

but this company should really start making some original basses. I would definetly be an owner.

But for now, these would be a great starter bass, an amazing backup and maybe a one and only!

Just my two cents.

Does anyone here have one and ran across one? any thoughts?

There was a fellow parting them out on ebay a couple years ago. I bought a neck from him for 45 bucks. I cut the heel a bit and mated it to a modified peavy t-20 or fury body. I had it for a couple of weeks tuned to tension, and it took a setup well. Then I sold it for what I had in it. Overall, seemed like a fine neck, but I didn't have it long enough to judge overall durablity.

dana strum from slaughter used these pretty much exclusively for several years back when they were really big...he had a white vee bass with a precision pickup on it...

my very first bass was a borrowed/inherited parbor pbass copy--one of the nicest necks I've ever played!
