Conan Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 [quote name='Shedua511' timestamp='1420488654' post='2649984'] I wouldn't be surprised at all if the bass in the video was just a non-functioning prop... [/quote] Sounds a bit like our rhythm guitarist... The neck is certainly "Fender inspired", but is a 24 fret job - so unlikely to be a proper Fender. Not that they don't make them with two octaves of course, but they ain't that common... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Found a couple more pics: [url="http://blog.pupilo.com.mx/http://blog.pupilo.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tumblr_ml7s8oXWb31qj6juso3_1280.png"]http://blog.pupilo.c...6juso3_1280.png[/url] (weird - pic shows in the editor but not when posted. Link should work) Lovely grain on that fretboard. I stand by my original assessment - it's a proper one-off, fully functioning bass. Never noticed the 24-fret neck, I'd also say it looks like it tapers less than a Fender, quite narrow string spacing, and it's square at the end of the fingerboard. The extended heel of the neck seems to go right up to the pickup. The bridge looks like some sort of 2-point Gibson-type fitting, presumably to go with the Mudbucker - that would account for the tight string spacing. The body has a clear scratchplate, unlike the wood used on Armstrongs, and the routing (which you can see better in the original pics) is clearly for just the existing pickup & controls, so the body isn't from any donor bass I'm aware of. Dunno what it is,but I want one. J. Edited January 6, 2015 by Bassassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
