Henman-Bevilacqua Bass

[Darkstrike]

Is that a list, or street price?

WOW! is right.... that's no significant price decrease either... kinda makes you think. If I knew where to try one, I would.

 

[bassrique]

Wow, I watch your reviews all of the time! I didn't know you posted here! Pretty cool.

EDIT: Under their FAQ it says that you can supply your own pickups with the same dimensions and they will send it to you with those instead.

Still might cost the same though.

I wish more custom shops would do that.

This HB bass is really growing on me. One day.........

=========================

JAUQO III-X,

How the hell do you keep that pick from moving around when you use that unique technique? Come on now, don't be like a guitarists and keep secrets

 

[jinithith2]

see I would eventually round up the money for one, then go "oh wait!" and order a bordwell bass

That is the million $ question . I would have to sit down with you,one on one to at least walk you through the basics.

Jauqo, assuming you paid around their original asking price, did you get back the 40ish% when they made their prices more reasonable? Did anyone else who may have bought one?

Anyways... Merry Christmas.

Happy Holidays to all the TB mob.

Truth be told, with the price adjustment they do seem pretty reasonable... in and around the same ballpark as a Trussart or something. I'd sure love to try one, I love the way they look.

You're more than welcome to check mine out if you're ever in Chicago, or if we meet through out my travels.

drop me a PM if you're ever in Montreal. I'd love to get down to Chicago some time, both to check out Specimen guitars and meet the phenomenal Scott Urban (who I'm building an axe for at work). As someone who presumably appreciates good wood, if you wear glasses, or heck even sunglasses you should check out his work - mind blowing.

I think it sounds terrible and looks even worse... I'd take an SX over this any day...

I like the unique look of it [exept the headstock], and that truss system intrigues me, but for that price, I'd rather do other things. I could build two or three kick-a** USACG basses for that price.

Speaking of SX, I just received my first SX / Essex yesterday. My initial impressions are on the SX thread. I'm quite pleased.

Is that bridge pickup only?

Is that bridge pickup only?

Mostly bridge with just a tad of the front pickup dialed in.

Ahh, I'd like to hear the opposite if you're ever so inclined

Here's Ed's review. I still don't like the bass...

 

[flipper_gv]

Here's Ed's review. I still don't like the bass...

ok.

You said it twice, we understood.

 

[allexcosta]

ok.

You said it twice, we understood.

I said "still" because Ed's review is more complete and we can hear the different sounds of the instrument. Now it's 3 times...
