Allen Woody Rumble Kat : A good 60's and early 70's sound.

I bought this bass on spec alone, and fortunately all the facts on paper do add up to what I'd hoped! The short scale, mahogany woods, hollow body, and old school humbuckers placed further towards the neck all point to a smooth, rich, and deep tone, which manifests itself very nicely in this instrument. The overall voice is well suited to 60's pop and early 70's rock, and while the stock strings are a nice match, I anticipate a set of flat-wounds emphasizing the point even further. The neck is slimmer than some, but not problematically so, and that is coming from someone used to playing 5 string basses!

This finishing of the instrument is not as flawless as some online reviews had given me to expect, but only on very close inspection- overall it is a very handsome bass, and I am very fond of the sound it produces. Not an all rounder perhaps, but for certain tones, most satisfactory!
