  1. damn. This sets new lows for ugly. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/80s-PIRANHA-FLYING-CHAINSAW-BASS-/121137504261?pt=Gitarren&hash=item1c345ba005"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c345ba005[/url] I actually hope it's a home-mutilated bass (horrible though the idea is). If it's not, that would mean that this thing made it into production... ew.
  2. That looks very nice indeed. Also, I tried your link, and it wants me to log in.
  3. Nice I've been thinking about a fretless 5 for a little while. If this is still here in a week (which I doubt ) then no doubt the GAS will have its way...
  4. [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1375315060' post='2159799'] I am actually going to build one soon, so I shall report back after [/quote] If you're doing that, you may find this site useful: www.largesound.com. Have a look at the user forum, there are several people there who like tinkering with short-scale builds with plastic strings.
  5. I've got one (bought from BC member bobpalt). I like it. I like the portability, I like the thud, I like not needing an amp to practice. Its downside, for me, is that it's hard to get people to take them seriously - which is why I don't play it as much as I'd like. It's actually easier to get that with an Ashbory. Also, Bakithi Kumalo likes them, so I figure I'm in good company
  6. If I liked 'burst basses, I'd like that Good luck with your sale!
  7. Piezo pup may be really squeaky... if you're using piezos, try flatwounds. But I agree that technique is the key. I wish I had some
  8. Morphine, VdGG, Melt Yourself Down are all personal favourites.
  9. Carnival in small Dorset town last Sunday. I was rubbish. Rest of us were OK-ish.
  10. [quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1373543298' post='2138818'] A pleasure dealing with you sir - glad you like it! Funnily enough, I did at one point consider looking for a cheap Westfield Jazz to swap necks - seemed more appropriate, somehow. I love the twin-P configuration - I've got to stop looking at pictures of older BC Rich Eagles. [/quote] Likewise, on both counts

    Owen - Feedback

    Bought some tuners. My second purchase from Owen. All well, good comms and efficient. Recommended. Thanks
  12. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1373493142' post='2138362'] ...or a poor copy of the Italian Fibonacci neck, which uses 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 ... [/quote]
  13. I bought Green Alsatian's modded one (pups upgraded, extra P pup). I like it, makes a nice noise. I will be putting a Jazz-ish neck on it though
