timmo Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 The headstock looks like they ran out of wood Quote
Ou7shined Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 That bit of heartwood running from the lower horn to the control cavity is an accident waiting to happen. Quote

TheGreek Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Who says you can't fit a square peg into a round (well elliptical) hole Quote
fiatcoupe432 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Looks like this bass used to have a delano xtender pickup .... Horrible horrible headstock Quote
fleabag Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I think thats right about the Delano - you can even see the pevious pickup screw hole and they use Delanos in other basses Some peanut head has stuck a silly Mighty Mite in place of the original I quite like some of the builds though ..the Corto, Fusion and Sparrow [url="http://www.birdsongguitars.com/birdsong-guitars"]http://www.birdsongg...irdsong-guitars[/url] Edited February 11, 2017 by fleabag Quote
yorks5stringer Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Yes, but the shop selling it have a drumkit fish tank installed by TV's 'Tanked Up'..... Quote
