I just couldn't pass this one up. Ran into this Takamine G series about 2 weeks ago at my local pawn shop. Plays really nice and is in absolute mint condition. I was on the fence for awhile as I already have another ABG, a fender CB-60 32" wearing flats, while this is a 34" strung with rounds. Did a little research on TB before my purchase and other G series owners seem to be happy with their purchases. Think I got a pretty good deal 317.00$ tax included. Like I said bass is in pristine condition no scuffs, scratches or dings and I have to say it sounds and plays better than my fender. Only thing I like more on my fender is the cut out is a little deeper and gives better access to the upper frets. This is bass #6 for me and I need to start looking at some multiple guitar stand solutions. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers!
