Midtown bass now in too

[Pilgrim]

Very classy looking!  I still love my Midtown, even though it's only cherry CRIMSON!! 

Fixed it for you, and made it MUCH more desirable to us of the Coug persuasion.

It's not for everyone.  It's not as cool looking as my old Gretsch 6072, but it plays a little easier for me because of its smaller size.

....and thanks once again for the Gretsch Bill!  Yes it's a real handful, but a beauty for sure.

All the best for the festive season.

This followed me home today 

I thought about ordering one in cherry but the ebony looked too good in person when I saw it.

I love the look of the Midtown in black too. It might not fit the bill tonally, but visually I want to get a black Midtown and play Peter Hook basslines on it.

Hey, no problem!!!  I wanted it to go to a good home and be appreciated.  I hadn't played it in a couple years.  I'm so glad you like it so much.

And he mostly played pointy Japanese hos until fame started to set in.

You mean like those?

I'll give this a bump up for the newbies.  I have the Midtown on a stand next to my practice amp and play it almost daily.  A really nice bass for the money.

Is he trying to return to the subject?

How insolent. Someone stop him quick.

My lot in life................get back to the topic!

A Rickenbacker copy and and a Yamaha BB bass are pointy Japanese ho's?

Still tempted by this bass.

I can't blame you for being tempted.  You won't find other USA made hollow body basses in this price range.  And it sounds and plays great.  It's not anything like the EB-2 of yesteryear.  No muddy tone or thump, thump, thump.  For me, it's a keeper.

Got the midtown out today and the e string is quite a bit quieter than the others.  Could the silk wrap, which extends over and above the saddle be deadening it?  The string has plenty of room at the nut,not binding there.  I've extended the pup screws as high as reasonable on the e string and it helps, but there still is an imbalance.
