xilddx Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What a vile looking monstrosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1345767918' post='1781458'] What a vile looking monstrosity. [/quote] That's my first impression too. It looks like it was designed for Snoop Doggy Dog. It's the ultimate in tasteless bling. BUT I bet it plays and sounds pretty good, because the guitars Awesome John play on his video sound very tasty and I'm assuming the basses will as well. But for looks.........I give it nil points.

mart Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Does look a bit flashy, but I suppose that's what you'd expect from Grand Master - Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 By coincidence I happened upon that on eBay the other day too. There's also a matching P/J Precision, think that and the jazz together would make my eyes hurt, not to mention my wallet [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grand-Master-Custom-Shop-MASTERPIECE-PJ-BASS-100-handmade-Stunning-/280945697137?pt=Guitar&hash=item4169ab2171"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grand-Master-Custom-Shop-MASTERPIECE-PJ-BASS-100-handmade-Stunning-/280945697137?pt=Guitar&hash=item4169ab2171[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 but isn't that what happens? you get custom instruments and suddenly people want (or are being sold) AAA tops and what not, and this added and that and .... you notice how often very little is about the tone of the thing? If I had a custom bass made it would have a one wood body and be simple looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
