Bassassin Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I quite like it - but I'm a sucker for a headless. Obviously a one-off but not as wonky as most home-made basses seem to be. Design would be quite nice if it was a bit less angular, imo. I usually like bold colours but that rattlecan purple's a bit grim, though.

Deep Thought Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yeah a bit 80's retro but I don't dislike it. Agree on the colour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The colour doesn't do it any favours, does it? Not bright enough to be properly in-your-face, but too purple to be ignored. Not a good look IMO. I don't like the split body either side of the bridge/tuners much, either. The top horn, though; that's classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'd have had that if it had five strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I'm not particularly a fan of Headless basses. But I don't dislike that bass. In fact, I quite like it! The colour is OK too - I've definitely seen worse, and IMO, uglier basses Some might say "what do you expect?" - as I've currently got a penchant for Shell Pink basses This looks an OK sort of travel bass to me; Quite small, probably fairly light, due to the small body Great if you're using battery amps and busking or doing jam sessions, and want something less bulky to cart around The thing I don't quite like about it is the "clamp" at the (lack of) headstock end - it doesn't look that secure to me Maybe that's just the photo though?

markstuk Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It's not been hit with the ugly stick, it is the ugly stick :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
