albinokiller Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Hi I am the owner of one of Wreck basses made by young Croatian luthier Danijel Kopjar. These basses are really something special and I needed to share it here. As I am informed, he usualy puts [url="http://www.dolezal-pickups.eur.hr/"]Dolezal[/url] custom made pickups in it, Noll electronics and Schaller hardware (or anything you want - I've put Ken Smith pickups and U-retro electronics). He also makes "vertical pyramid system" bodies to make basses lighter and with more sustain. And he makes the most beautiful finishes. Here is link to his facebook page: [url="https://www.facebook.com/Wreck-Guitars-146603562635/"]LINK[/url] And here are some pics of Wreck Basses: Quote

grayn Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for the links. Cool ensemble. Love the first pic, of the dark blue 5er. They look really well designed and finished. Quote
Grangur Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for posting, they are incredible. The attention to detail to get them looking great is impressive. Quote
therealting Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 His website seems to be down. How much do they cost? Quote
Lw. Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 They look great! Sounding pretty cool too for that sound. I particularly like the semi-visible chambering. Thanks for sharing, not heard of them before. Quote
Myke Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 They look awesome! Really love the second bass! Quote
albinokiller Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I really don't know exact price...you should contact him on Facebook...and yes - website seems to be down... I bought mine 3 years ago and it was neck through model (more expensive than BO), without pyramids (cheaper than with it) and I had my own electronics and hardware... But I think they are around 1500€...really nothing compared to what you get... This is my Adidas bass (this is with Bartolini pickups - later I have changed them to Ken Smith) Edited January 23, 2016 by albinokiller Quote
neepheid Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Don't look like wrecks, do they? (obvious play on words taken care of) Quote
Myke Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder how them vertical pyramid thingys affect the bass. I suppose because it isn't quite solid it would make it lighter, not as much as chambering I would hazard a guess. Or am I thinking about it the wrong way? Quote

philw Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Wow! Lovely - especially the fretless semi-solid one. P Quote
