leftyhook Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 That headstock is causing someone's antique wardrobe to be lop-sided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I actually quite like that. Although that headstock design is dreadful. Who in their right mind would come up with such a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You should make it have parallel strings.... Actually forget that it'll probably feel horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teamcoy Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Why, that's a nice looking Badass bridge, where did that come from. Glad to see it is being put to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That bridge looks far too sensible Perhaps some sort of ridiculous cover for that bridge pickup would help? One that covers the strings right where you want to play them and causes injury when you try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teamcoy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Haha, everyone loves to shred their first knuckles on sharp edges... I think brensabre79 is on to something with this Oli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think it would be quite cool if it have some kind of burst finish too. But you should call it something else... like glow! But spell it wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I get the impression there's a thread i've missed somewhere. I've seen a lot of jokes about fake rickys but don't get it. I know it's lame to ask but can someone link me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Like you, I can't be arsed to find the link. Basically some company that makes hideously shaped basses and guitars got the arse about someone on BC selling a 30 year old instrument privately because it bears more than a passing resemblance to their design. The company in question and in particular thier owner are renowned for aggressively protecting their trademarked hideous design. As a result nobody can advertise an allegedly trademark infringing instrument, even if it was made before the trademark existed, and its a private sale, for a couple of hundred quid. or something like that. Anyways, this aggressive behaviour has resulted in the various Fake'n'bakers to increase in value due to the fact you cannot find one on the net anywhere! Nice one John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was actually one of the newer, only a passing resemblance ones they got uptight about, rather than the almost perfect, and substantially improved in some areas, jobs. I take this to mean they have dropped their standards to below this entry level competition by this point. The thread is stickied at top of basses for sale.
