Samashton12 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? I want one so much but no one has one and they're discontinued! and I cant be bothered paying £600 for one shipped from the US Just wanted to know your opinions Thanks Guys, Sam Quote
Bassman Sam Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 It has a certain charm but the pups don't do it for me. They look like fishing weights to me, they just need a couple of swivels either side. Sorry. Quote
uncle psychosis Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Normally I love italia basses but that doesn't do it for me at all in afraid. Quote

Each to there own i guess, fishing weight joke made me laugh, though Quote
Prime_BASS Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I like it, strangly, it supposed to be some modulus/stingray copy? Quote
casapete Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Currently one of these for sale on Gumtree in North London, £150 ono - bargain? Quote
discreet Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 It's certainly unusual, but the combination of very traditional elements with the more 'out there' stuff doesn't quite work, imho. Kind of like a Morris Minor with a modern roof-rack box on top... OK, crap analogy... oh look, it's time for my meds... A plain black pickguard would certainly improve matters - the existing one is truly horrible. Then lose the bridge ashtray and hope there's a funky bridge under there. That would help, too. And basses should [i]never [/i]be grey or silver, imho. Apart from that though, it's bloody brilliant! [size=4] [/size] Quote
uncle psychosis Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Rotate the pickups 45 degrees and it would be awesome. As it is, no. Quote
bertbass Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I like it, but I'd like it even more if it was left handed. Quote

[/quote] Enquired about that i think, Never got back to me They should of made an all back one with the chrome pickups too. that would look awesome. Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 For me it would be just a one night stand, I couldn't go through a full relationship with that. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I think they are gorgeous, it's a shame they'e been discontinued. I always thought they looked right up my street but never saw one in the flesh (wood?) to try and didn't fancy spending the money blind considering I had no idea what the thing actually sounded like... Quote
JTUK Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Don't reckon it has much chance of sounding much better than it looks.. IMO. Too tacky looking............. So, a NO from me... Quote
SpaceChick Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It's interesting Don't like the pick ups one bit, but love the design look of the body. Quote
Donnyboy Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I'm not in love with it - I'd like to like it more in a strange way Quote
Samashton12 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Got in contact with that guy selling the one on Gumtree, its sold Quote
Chezz55 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........................... no - sorry but not my bag of beans. Quote

anothertim Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 To answer your question - no! I've just bought one - love it Quote
kerley Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I would actually say the opposite as it is one of the worst looking basses to me (yes I do wear glasses). Quote
Skol303 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I like it! But it does look quite 'conventional' to me. I say that as someone who loves, for example, traditonal Precision and Jazz basses... but not because of how they look ('cos let's face it, they all look the same - there, I said it! ) but because of how they [u]sound[/u]. There are more unusual and beautiful basses out there, to my taste, but it's all in the eye of the beholder, innit Quote
