derrenleepoole Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 You could take someone's eye out with that! Quote
Bassassin Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Love it - a really striking & imaginative piece of design, really the only thing that spoils it as far as I'm concerned are the messy-looking inlays on the front. Jon. Quote

Ou7shined Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Pretty cool. The headstock and tuners arrangement is inspiring. Pity it looks like someone's curled one out over the neck heel. Quote
EssentialTension Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 It reminded me of the word 'why?'. Quote
Clarky Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I spotted this and immediately thought of Spoombung but I suspect even he would consider that a curve too far! Quote
gary mac Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I was going to be diplomatic, but I can't. That's just totally orrid. Quote
witterth Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I have an allergy to banannas......and this bass, ewww, not for me Nine Danke. Quote
lettsguitars Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 it looks well made. and smacks of 'offcuts'. though i'm sure that aint the case. cool bass, not sure about the back of the nut. Quote

yorick Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Like the body, neck etc. But the headstock is fugly. Obviously had a lot of work/love thrown at it. Quote
purpleblob Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Reminds me of the liquid metal terminator when he's getting blown to pieces. Well it'd certainly get you noticed Quote
sprocketflup Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Makes a welcome change from the seemingly endless P and J clones, more power to the guy! Doubt Id buy one, but I imagine thats someones wet dream. Wonder what hes working on now? Quote
