sykilz Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Just saw a custom build that someone had done, and although this is nowhere near as beautiful, I'm finding this " not quite a T bird " shape more attractive every time I look at it. Unfortunately I'm 45 years old, so will look a twat playing it, but young rockers out there, have a look... Quote
Wil Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) That I do like. What do people make of ESP/LTD instruments? Well built? Play/sound any good? Edited June 11, 2014 by Wil Quote
bertbass Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Why will you look a twat playing it? A nice looking bass at any age. Quote
bobbytodd Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 YAK.but if we all liked the same things the world would be a very dull place Quote

[/quote] Just me having a bit of a complex about advancing age I guess, when I play I see me as kind of Mike Inez from Alice in Chains, but of course in the actual band photos I'm a prematurely greying haired guy in his mid 40's who has to work as a postie during the week!!

Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I like it! Imagine it with a pair of proper chrome Thunderbuckers though... Quote

lee4 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I am also 45,but I look like a twat playing any bass . Quote
sykilz Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 This is how I think I look..... But I actually look.... Quote

[/quote] Yes, well built. I had a 5 string fretless. It had a great, fast, flat neck. Nice mwahhh. The strings were a mite too close together for my liking and the active-only pups weren't as powerful as I'd have expected. But for £200 s/hand, it's a bargain. Quote

[/quote] So what of your age and so what of how you think you look - It doesn't matter. If you like that bass and you think it will put a smile on your face every time you pick it up, go out and buy it dude!!!!!! Edit: Oh yeah ESP/LTDs, I would probably play them if the P Bass wasn't invented. Edited June 14, 2014 by Weststarx Quote
sykilz Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 Thanks guys, feeling the love, some kind comments. Gonna go try out all the basses I like the look of,regardless. And maybe get a black wig....! Quote
Grangur Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 [quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1402520509' post='2474456'] Love the look of that body wood. [/quote] Thanks. FYI the wood is spalted maple Quote
charic Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 OMG, have you seen that stream bass in white?! Quote
emell Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I have the LTD Stream since a couple of weeks and ...well, I am 47 years old and it fits perfectly. Just hang it deep and it will look pretty cool. Quote
