john_the_bass Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 apologies if this has been posted before, I did a brief search and couldn't find anything, but my copy of Performing Musician Mag dropped through the letterbox yesterday and there is a small piece on these. Can't say I have any GAS for one, but they look kind of cool - possibly like a Les Paul bass should have been. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Now that is nice. Recently I've found my tastes straying from my usual modern 'n' active to vintage style and thumpy. It must be old age. How much are these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I quite like it, but it looks like a bit's been broken off the top horn to me. Stiil, I'd like one one blue please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotnwhy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 short top horn + large headstock = well... but other than that, it's a different, slightly odd looker. so i like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've had a play of the gu!*%r version and its quality; Seymour Duncans, Buzz feiten & top quality build (cort, I think), so anything like that then would be worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I do like that - I'd quite like a bass in the LP/singlecut style, I don't have anything like that at the moment. Bit new - and expensive - for the likes of me though - I'd prefer [url="http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/catalogs/78_pb1500_slick/78_pb1500_slick.jpg.html"]this[/url], or even [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fujigen-Greco-Lespaul-custom-Bass-LGP-90_W0QQitemZ300193411129"]this.[/url] Jon.

minty fresh death Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Only the XB925 and RB2502 have ever caught my attention, Washburn don't make good basses imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
