TheGreek Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 "Silent bass guitar"??? With the original quadro-piezo pickup under rosewood bridge generating a powerfull and beautiful tone, with new sound quality and higher volume without any preamping. Plug it directly to your amp to get a rich tone from this new pickup technology. I see this as an impulse buy you'd soon regret... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 £600! It looks like a toy that would cost a few tenners from Wilko at xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It would look good hanging in my bar. Then again, so would Boris Johnson. Both are massively overvalued. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 At least you could reshape it when you got tired of its current vaguely pointy ugly shape. Or use it to make biscuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The pics are rubbish - can't really work out what's going on. Is the acrylic bit the neck/fretboard & tuner assembly, and the body's a strip of aluminium bent to the vague shape of an ugly guitar? Looks like an interesting concept that's unattractively & shoddily executed. Speaking as someone who's typically drawn inexorably towards see-through things that light up in the dark, I will make an exception for this.

It obviously should be £60 not £600 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Might be helpful to see around the rear of it rather than 9 photos of it displaying different colours. I can't work out how the Tuners are located... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 "Quadro piezo" pickups, huh? No doubt one piezo for each string. You do need a decent preamp to make any piezo sound half reasonable, whatever our pal in Poland says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming late to the party and reviving this - you could get a better-executed and more attractive one from Aliexpress for £225 (plus £45 duty and VAT if it happens to get done for it): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-Stock-Acrylic-4-string-Headless-Electric-Bass-guitarra-Fingerboard-transparent-acrylic-body-with-LED-light/32947033280.html Oooh shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Generally you lose the headstock to make the overall instrument shorter; this one has the length of a headstock plus more added to the body's length. Well, when I say the body - it's just an outline around the central plank. Incidentally, on that theme, I tried a Yamaha Silent Guitar the other day and I could hear it quite clearly - what the heck's that about??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
