noelk27 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 A useless lump of wood to my eye. And design/built by someone who doesn't have a full palette of fretting techniques. Quote

lettsguitars Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 amazing. how dare he? he obviously does though, and respect for that. my only worry would be the weight. gotta wiegh about 10kg Quote
Soloshchenko Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 That is just absolutely stupid and awful. I just vomitted looking at it. Quote
karlfer Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 Wonder if it's inspired by Roger Dean's ironing board (age being shown alert). Karl. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Visually it's very creative and interesting. I wonder what it would be like to play. I'm not sure...... Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 It's just flash, like when you got cheap versions of Airfix models, a bit of router work will sort that right out. Quote
lemmywinks Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Well, it's different... Can't help thiking he could have made 2 really nice basses from all that wood though. Tempted to message him and ask if there's any neck dive! Quote

One of the reasons I like the other one is that it looks like it should weigh next-to-nothing. On the other hand, this thing doesn't work aesthetically or practically on any level, but I do approve of the spirit of experimentation! Jon. Quote
captain black Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Look what I found on youtube: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxjQcyLukI8&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxjQcyLukI8...feature=related[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzqrejD3Z4o&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzqrejD3Z4o...feature=related[/url] Sort of marries both of these threads together nicely. Still wouldn't be seen dead with one. Quote

tauzero Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I really would love that. Except that I suspect it would weigh nearly as much as me, and anything more than 2p is outside my price range. Can't understand all the hatred there is for basses which don't look like bloody Fenders (and for Fenders which anyone has dared to improve, because, let's face it, pretty much anything sensible you do to one will improve it). How depressingly conservative. Quote
