S10 anyone?

Postby highrisejesus » Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:04 am

As i Mentioned in a recent post, I am interested in buying an S10. I have an SD10 and that is all I have ever played. I would obviously like to try an S10 before I go ahead an order one. I want to see if I can adapt to it without the pad. I am asking if anyone out there has one and would allow me to come and have a go on it? I would only need about 10 mins to know if it would work for me. I am based in Bournemouth.

10 minutes not enough IMHO you need to play the whole gig on it, the comfort of a SD10 I would not swap as 5 min struggle to get it in and set up vs 2 hours playing comfort....no contest.

As having only played an S10, I can't say I've noticed any discomfort while playing (excepting the jarring bum notes).
The subject was touched on in this topic......

There's got to be some S10s down your way, Nick, and it's looking like it won't be too long till we can mingle. Hope you get sorted.

That's a good one, John, and very true. And if you think 3 score and 10 is young.....I'll take that :lol:

Hi Nicik,
Your welcome to have a try on my ZB S10 anytime. Pedal set up is 'Day' CBA, and left knee raises & lowers the 'E's. I'm close by in WImborne, so not far to travel. Kettle is always on :D
