bigsmokebass Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Is it a bass? A harp? Some funky hipster furniture?🤔 It's a no from me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted March 17, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Good for firing arrows at drunk punters. Not much good for anything else. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted March 17, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted March 17, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
