I have no personal experience with them, but my luthier told me he has worked on two, and they both creaked like an old boat.

I've had two folding basses, first a plywood version and now a hybrid and I couldn't be happier. Sometimes the basses need a bit of adjustment and Charlie is always available to answer questions if your local luthier is stumped. I have had no persistent issues with either of the folding basses and have recorded successfully with both. As long as they're in proper adjustment they don't creak or rattle.

Can you give me a more specific idea of what adjustments and issues youve had? I'd get a Hybrid if I got one.

Sometimes the fingerboard can creak a little when the bass is assembled. There are a few different ways that Charlie addresses the issue depending on the situation.

I am considering buying Chadwick Folding Bass. I am wondering which option to choose - ply or hybrid. Is it noticeable upgrade in sound quality in hybrid version? In which way? I am looking for bass good for swing/jazz with richer lower register. Also I am wondering about durability of folding mechanism. I live in Europe, so getting bass to Chadwick for regulation wont be either easy nor cheap. Do this mechanism needs regulations or repairs? How often? Best Regards |

The folding parts are quite durable and can be repaired by a competent luthier, as long as they're willing to reach out to Charlie when necessary. I have not found that they need adjustment on a regular basis, I use my bass internationally for more that 100 dates a year and it hasn't let me down. |
