Bassassin Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not usually somebody who'd pour scorn upon another's sense of aesthetics - but this has left me lost for both words and any ability to comprehend: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200221242092"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=200221242092[/url] And somebody correct me if I'm mistaken - but that's a badge off an old Skoda on the headstock. Is this some elaborate joke I'm just not getting? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnbass Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We've just been discussing those very basses on binface Opinions are equally divided, I quite like the 'precision-a-like' it would be great if you were in a C&W group. The sort of thing Billy Ray Cyrus' bass player might own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... [i]I[/i] know!" It's like a bunch of random offcuts that don't fit, haphazardly slapped on anywhere there was a bit of space. Me, I actually like those Italia basses - and the old retro 60s weirdos which inspired them - masses of pearloid, sometimes entire bodies & necks covered with the stuff - but this just doesn't work at all. And a Skoda badge? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That's almost the pickup selection I've been thinking about a lot recently. And I like someone with a bit of independence and vision. Regardless of how zany his spectacles must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That big bit of plastic he stuck on the forearm chamfer can't be anything but uncomfortable. I like the pickup combo though. If you could get it cheap it could be an interesting project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFW Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Needs more scratchplate IMO. I think he should've covered the fingerboard and thrown in a case made entirely out of scratchplate. And offered to send it in a box made of scratchplate... Delivered by a van made out of scratchplate fuelled by melted scratchplates... By a man wearing a scratchplate shirt. [i]THEN[/i] I'd buy it.
