OK, so I finally got a picture of my Tangent Bass with the Tangent 257... I know a lot of people in the OFC aren't too fond of the Tangents but... Let a proud poppa brag for a minute :) :)

I like those bridges. Thanks for posting the pic. I had never realized the Tangent bridge before.

Nice looking pair!
I don't think I knew there was such a thing as a Tangent bass. How does it sound?

Unlike the Tangent guitar it's got a deep bowl so it's got a real full sound unplugged. Right now I've got it strung with Diadaro flat wounds and it's nice and smoooth sounding both unplugged and hooked in. The action is a little on the high side and I'm thinking of lowering it but aside from that it's real playable. I'm not really a bass player but I figure it's good to have a 4 string around and this is a good one; lots of fun to play.

Cheers,
JT

Oh, and by the way XNoel, they don't regularly make them. This one was sold to me by an acquaitence who is sponsored by Ovation. Supposedly they only made 4 of them for sponsorees.
