Annoying Twit Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Interesting looking bass here. What sort of wood is that on the body?

BigAlonBass Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Issue with the headstock? Mine's a "Custom Shop" as well, but it isn't that horrid "badly painted" colour, and it's got a mother-of-pearl "V" sunk into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlonBass Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It is indeed a Vester Bass, with a Bubinga Body and a Wenge neck, the same as mine........but the front of the headstock looks funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 [quote name='BigAlonBass' post='323154' date='Nov 6 2008, 01:22 AM']It is indeed a Vester Bass, with a Bubinga Body and a Wenge neck, the same as mine........but the front of the headstock looks funny. [/quote] It is indeed - but I think the neck is actually a wenge / maple laminate. Either way, its basically a copy of a Warwick Thumb, and I would have thought it would be a reasonably good buy at the starting price.
