Lightwave Basses
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2011 1:58 am
I'm considering a new fretless bass and one that has caught my eye is the Lightwave Sabre VL 5 string.
As these aren't available in New Zealand, so I need some input from members who have had access to them.
What I'm looking for is the moderm mwahh but the ability to achieve an almost double bass vibe on occasion.
I've watched the Ed Friedland youtube clip several times and it looks too good to be true - is it?
Do they have a natural sound, or is it over digitized?
What's the build quality and finish like?
Has anyone played one with flat wound strings?
Any and all input will be greatfully recieved as I'll have to buy on line and have it couried to NZ, so there's no going back when I press that buy button
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
