    Bass : Corsair Bass

    Pretty cool looking. I love the feature set and Schecter neck profile, and the price seems fair.

    I'm not a fan of humbuckers, and as a short dude full scale hollowbodies look goofy/are unwieldy for me, so I probably won't get one.

    Saw it too, active tbird pickups in a semi hollow. Could be cool

    It's like... The traditional/old-school body shape and vibe are clashing with the more modern inlays and pickups. I think I like it, but something seems "off" to me lol. Hard to explain. I'd like to hear it. Either way, at the least, it's got potential.

    Ha, maybe that's what it is. Torn on the aesthetics of this one, but I bet it sounds nice.

    Looks really nice. Thanks for reminding me I've been thinking about a hollow body. I'm sure it plays nicely.

    Chrome pickup covers would give it a more old school look.

    The green one Tim Levebre has is really quite fetching too, This looks easier to mod than a JC if needed

  16. thank you so much sir,..i am thinking about buying srh500f (cost around 1000-800 usd)
    and i am afraid satus graphite is not available in indonesia (sad,sometimes country who has manufacturing and raw material provider choose not to sell some of their product on there, such sr2400 amethyst ibanez only can be bought from japan region not in my place, and yet their production were here)
     
  17. This is a great bass. I just got a black one from Sweetwater. It was a demo and reduced. At first I was nervous about the finish as they said it had a dent and a chip on it. Well they gave it their "55 pt inspection" and must have polished it and beautified it. I really couldn't find anything wrong with it when it arrived and it was in perfect tune still via the strobe. I played it all day yesterday to tweak the pickup and tone settings. This is not a "one trick pony" it does rock, jazz, metal, and slap and you don't have to deliberate over the tone controls very much. And... it has a lot of "booty" for the real bottom dwellers out there. I really love this bass and totally satisfied.
