    Well I just used Google AI and it said the name was chosen "because it sounded exotic and luxurious". I suppose that type of colour scheme would have been luxurious in 60s USA. Still seems a misnomer to me. It would be interesting to show the finish to a random selection of people who don't know what it is and ask them what they would call it. I don't expect you would get Antigua or anything even vaguely similar.
  2. Grooverjr
    Doesn't say why it was named Antigua? I have never been, but I would expect it to be all bright tropical colours so not an obvious match.

    Sounds to me like a mate of yours having a laugh....

    I like the phrase "upgraded antiquity" to describe horrendous false ageing. Is that also part of the boilerplate AI?
  5. Grooverjr
    It looks like some kind of bad AI thing where someone put in a list of different 'classic' bits to mash together and then the AI got very confused by the word 'horn'

    Surely there are few on here who needs convincing about ACGs but ..... I recently had almost all my basses in storage for about 3 months due to a big intercontinental move and when I got them back it was a joy to be reunited with them all but it was my ACG (not the shortie, that is still in the box until I get the hangers up - delayed gratiication 😁) that really blew me away with the playability and the feel through the instrument. You don't need all the active bells ansd whistles to have a marvellous instrument and the joy of the ACG is in the DNA, especially the neck shaping. Given how much other things that were mass produced but have a 'name' sell for, 900 quid is a steal.

    Looks lovely. From that bottom picture, it appears to have the ghost of Kung Fu Panda within it as well. Maybe that's what gives it the oomph?

    Meanwhile in Bolivia, tickets for Juanes (not really my cup of tea but a big name in Latin 'rock/pop' for the last 30 years or so) are about 60 quid for VIP and the cheap seats are just over a tenner. Venue holds around 6 thousand I would guess Now Bolivia is not a wealthy country so there is less purchasing power but there is the same level of touring overheads so if Juanes and all his crew are making money it suggest that somebody in all the examples you have given is making A LOT of money. I am sure they could still make money at half the prices they are charging bit greed is the creed....

    Sorry, no. I have brought it with me to Bolivia. Forgot the ad was still up.

    What can one say about the marvellous Mr Travis? As well as being a sensational gent of a buyer (he took his old Jack Casady back from me a while back and was great) he also happens to be a top seller as well. His old black sparkle Danelectro now sits with me after a perfect transaction. Easy deal, very quick send, nicely boxed. And it's a peach of a thing, no hidden unpleasantness of any description. You probably don't need telling as he is such a fixture, but tell you I will: deal with confidence.

    It's lovely looking, apart from the very ugly headstock which really does ruin it. I get that he may be trying to be different but a 2 by 2 would work so much better. Maybe he could have done an offset 2 by 2 with the top slightly longer to reflect the shape of the body (or the bottom to give some balance) to be 'edgy'

    Happy to help. As someone who struggled to get survey responses for my masters thesis I feel your pain (yes, that was a very bad pun)

    Lush. Not generally a fan of too funky shapes but these are really special

    Grooverjr replied to Mummbler's topic in Effects

    I have one. It works really well with the special pickup but is pretty underwhelming with a direct standard bass input. i am not sure I would want to take it to a gig but it's great as a way of having a load of presets for home studio use.
  16. Grooverjr
    Is this still available? And what is under that bit of pickguard? Is it hiding a failed route or something?
