narad Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Man, I'm not a bass player but I'm still tempted! This is such a beautiful instrument: Just cross-posting the reverb listing.

topekatj Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 A beauty! Pretty light weight for a solid maple bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCChris Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That one is primo, and the gold hardware works on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB0531 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I like the gold hardware against the color of the body and also how the medium brown rosewood fretboard blends in. Although, I never liked the sound of an all maple instrument. Edited September 15, 2022 by HSB0531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I have a beater Chaparral bass with maple like that. It feels good when I play it. Somebody needs to grab that one on Rwverb. You will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbilly Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) The Chap basses are always good. I should have kept the red sparkle bolt-on that I paid about $110 for ages ago, had re-fretted, and then sold for something like $250 a couple of years later (I just remembered I know a guy who might know the guy I sold it to...). I still have the one in my profile pic, it makes me not care about the red sparkle one very much. I still have my setneck Chap5 (Barts, dots) in 'iridescent', it might actually be worth more than I paid for it in the mid '90s!
