Grand Wazoo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Some chap - with very good artist skills - on the Dingwall forum made 2 sketches of a quasi- 50's Precision Bass with a Dingwallesque fan fret design. You know, if they produced that as standard, I would undoubtedly be all over it. Wouldn't you? Check it out!! It' very Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) it's even got a reversed headstock, me likey.

cetera Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That's actually pretty nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Definitely would - that's just the sort of skewed take on traditional designs that appeals to me. Maple/pearl blocks on mine, though. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That second pic has an Ecsher-esque quality to it. The Impossible Bass. Very cool but it needs a new p/g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cool; but there my interest fades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleblob Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That's a really disorientating looking instrument - I feel like I'm looking at it through a fairground mirror. Not for me I'm afraid, but I'm all for different designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny-79 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Interesting concept but naw not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'd take it a bit further & have it semi-hollow with an f-hole, Tele Thinline stylee. Think I'd want a lighter wood top (to go with the maple board I'd have) & a cream pearl scratchplate. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Errr no. But hey, that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
