RayFW Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Anybody know what the hell this is? Looks vaguely Alemboid with a strange headstock. Custom build perhaps?

doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Allo! Yes. Very strange! Not sure if anyone has spoken to John Diggins about it - he's the only man who knows!

v8bass Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I had a couple of pics sent through from the vendor Its his main gigging bass and I think he got it from his singer vocalist It Appears a Bolt On as it has an engraved 4 bolt neckplate....... Body is very early alembic / JD style but i would be sure it didnt come from either .. TRI PHASIC pickups ...errrr ? Stereo not sure maybe via the XLR ? Badass Bridge Gotoh Tuners Poss Schaller ? Unsure of the Woods again due to Pic Quality IMHO its a sort of home build but without seeing better pics or playing it its a real tough one ....

yorks5stringer Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 ....this was discussed when it was last up on ebay, it ain't a JD seems to be the consensus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_the_bassist Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 possibly worth a look if it doesn't go much past the start price...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think it's a really striking looking one-off / custom type bass - it just [i]really[/i] annoys me when people try & pass something like this off as something it blatantly isn't.

phil_the_bassist Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm guessing the winner wasn't amoungst our number, it would've been interesting to see what it was like! d'ya recon it'll be back on EvilBay within a week or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
