Happy Jack Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So your guitarist looks at your new bass and asks: "What is it?". And you reply: "It's a [color=#333333][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]Maelstrom Black Belemnite Concept Symetry Bass Guitar.".[/size][/font][/color] [size=2][color=#333333][font=Calibri, sans-serif](Although you probably spell [i]symmetry [/i]correctly. Unlike this vendor.)[/font][/color][/size] [color=#333333][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]And then, once everyone has finished laughing at you, you put it back in the rack and pick up your Precision again.[/size][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I assume it is aimed at those who haven't figured whether they play left or right handed yet......I am sure it won't have a rather limited market then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It is clearly aimed at "smaller people who want awesome sustain and power" However, at that price I can buy four Gretsch Electromatic G2220 Junior Jet II's which are also suitable for smaller people who want awesome sustain and power at an affordable price.

You break into the riff for "Going Japanese" to hide your embarrassment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
