bigsmokebass Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Is it a bass? A harp? Some funky hipster furniture?🤔 It's a no from me 2 Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Me too. 1. It has no fingerboard and is unplayable as a bass guitar. 2. that construction isn't going to last a week - no truss rod, it will slowly fold up on itself. Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Good for firing arrows at drunk punters. Not much good for anything else. 2 1 Quote
bigsmokebass Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I believe it does have a neck, if you check out the heel of the neck and up along the fretboard, you'll notice an subtle ebony fretboard hiding away. Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I did not see that... time to get my specs re-calibrated I think. Quote

alembic1989 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 Its a fully functional bass...the ebony fretboard is hard to see in that pic. I would LOVE to play it Quote

It would be great to see the back of the body where the strings are anchored, because this bass may have a floating neck construction like Born To Rock (the joint at the headstock end suggests that it might) and in which case it wouldn't need a truss rod.

TheGreek Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I like it...the other photos show the neck a bit clearer. No price list though - suggests that if you need to ask... Edited March 17, 2019 by TheGreek 1 Quote

It gets interesting at about 50 seconds in. I couldn't work out why a guitar would have a rotating outer frame when I saw the pictures. Then in the video I couldn't make out what the brace thing behind the neck and strange headstock design was. Then halfway through the video....... whoa! Cool! 1 Quote
Aidan63 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 wow, lovely designs and execution, similar things I've seen before in others work that I didn't like seem so well blended and balanced and not overly fussy; just as some of the work by some of the people on here looks better than some of the big name luthiers' work Quote
