binky_bass

Just to let you know, I am in fact your eldest daughter... when can I have my bass please?

A new one that just arrived an hour ago that will most definitely never be sold!

Pete looks like he's been relic'd.

Among a few others, I will never sell Binky or my USA Conklin 8. They are simply the best instruments I have ever seen/heard/owned.

Boil it up for a few hours, I'm sure it'll come out just fine.

Cats and basses don't mix. In fact cats don't mix with anything. I've tried. I blended one once and all the catty bits just floated to the surface.

As I say, stunning can go either way! Fully appreciate this is a Marmite bass!

Then you sir have no love for cars!

Arguably 'Stunning' doesn't necessarily imply the positive, something can be stunningly terrible! But, which ever way you choose to slice it, this bass is quite stunning! Be you in the positively so or negatively so camp! (If you're in the negatively so camp then I'll see you behind the bike sheds at lunch break for a fight).

Get back in your 'Jaco only needed 4' box! 😜

You can but ask him! Drop him a message, I'm sure he'd be able to let you know.

For me, I can't stand 'standard', the world is a glorious place with so much on offer, why have the same as everyone else? To those that prefer a Fender, cool, no problem! For me - I like something with more identity. This bass creates a conversation that highlights our differences, none of which are wrong, they are just the subtlies that make us an individual. I must say I enjoy the fact this bass causes a conflict of opinion, a Fender would rarely if ever really do that. An instrument can be art in itself, not just a tool to make art, and this is what I love about it. You can say you don't personally like it, and that is absolutely fine, but you can't deny that it can be considered a piece of art in itself!

The body shape is quite unique, it's purposefully focuses for ergonomics so it is that shape for a reason - obviously I like the shape but I can understand why some might not! Buckeye - again one of those love or hate woods, I love the colour an complexity of the wood, but again, can absolutely see it not being everyone's taste!

Personal taste is of course so utterly subjective - for me this is a simply stunning instrument, and an example of real master craftsmanship. It's definitely a polarising body shape and buckeye is quite often a marmite top wood so definitely not for everyone! The world would be a bland place if we all liked the same things!

No LEDs, just the natural sheen of the resin!

@PlungerModerno You sir win 10 points. Flame Ash it is! @Ian McFly You sir are entitled to your opinion, but in this case your opinion is wrong! 😜

So this utterly outstanding build by a certain Mr Cringean is just awaiting final set up before being sent over to me, and dear god it looks simply stunning! I mean the word stunning doesn't do it justice, a new word needs to be invented to describe such glory.. 'Stuntacious', 'Fanmazeic', 'Awestastaciousic'? I know (as most of us do) how well an ACG plays, so I'm confident this will be such a good bass to hold and play - but to look at... it's on another level. It's almost pornographic! In the words of Zoolander, it's just so ridiculously, ridiculously good looking.

So what you are saying is you hate everyone and are on the verge of hulking out whereby you will then 'hulk smash' the country into the ground and all those you hate along with it? 😋

Nope, all women only like shoes, handbags and children and all men are terrible pigs that think all womens only like shoes, handbags and children. True fact. 👍

Luckily for me my bass doesn't mind me having multiple wives.

FAR nicer than the Nitti. Good choice sir!
