AndyTravis Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is that a 'Warr'? It'd take some serious amount of practice to get going on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ah, dammit, 'Teleporter'! I'd have slapped that as the model name on my F*nder bitsa guitar if I'd come up with it first....might have to build another one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 So is it left or right handed? I'm assuming the neck dive would be so bad you'd have to play it with the neck pointing towards the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Only 2 trussrods?! That's a bit risky isn't it? I wonder how long it'll be until we start seeing basses with more trussrods than strings. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Al'right... would you actually call that thing a "bass"? I wouldn't... And where is the thin line when a bass stops being a "bass" and becomes something else? 5 strings - Lovely, but not classic... 6 - ok, I'll accept that, especially when playing fusion, jazz and similar... but what about 7, 8 and 49str? ...

ThomBassmonkey Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 What's the point? Surely no one would be able to fret the higher set of strings consistently enough for it actually to be playable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillerbunny Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) All joking aside, yeah, that's not a bass but a Warr Guitar.
