KevB Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Whilst browsing on the web I came across a Sting inspired vintage P type bass by Dillion. As I'd never heard of them thought I'd check out their web site. Apparently US based but have the guitars and basses made in Korea. I got stopped in my tracks by this object that was listed as a 'discontinued' model - I wonder why! ; [url="http://www.dillionguitars.com/bass/electric/DMB7504/index.html"]http://www.dillionguitars.com/bass/electric/DMB7504/index.html[/url] Quote
Musky Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 It's a Mosrite copy. I've always liked the look of them myself, probably because Johnny Ramone favoured the 6 string versions. Quote
KevB Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 Yes I figured it was inspired by mosrite ventures type thing but somehow they've managed to make it even uglier Some of the other models are quite nice though, including the vintage P. Never seen a Dillion in the flesh though. Quote
Musky Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I was going to disagree about them being ugly and then I noticed that they've just stuck jazz bass pickups in surrounds to mimic the proper pups. That's just wrong. Quote
BigRedX Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Apparently Hallmark are working on a 32" scale Mosrite style bass. That'll be a far better bet than the Dillion. Quote
Roland Rock Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 The Aria DMB is quite a looker, especially for the price http://www.projectmusic.net/aria-dmb-380-candy-apple-red-bass-guitar-8210-p.asp Quote
