Silvia Bluejay Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 We could all have been spared that photo, and we would be happier. Here's one of a Marleaux Diva, sight for sore eyes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the basses in the first post strike me as particularly beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twincam Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Think most of the basses posted already come in the most interesting looking basses group 😁. I also think that sometimes you have to see and if possible hold something in person to really enjoy its form. As these instruments posted are often like or are a form of art.

bassaussie Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I always thought this was such an incredible instrument, in the way it completely defied all the traditional ways to look at a bass. It was made by a Swiss luthier named Claude Pagelli in the 1990s. There's some information about it on his website http://www.pagelli.com/e-guitars-innovations.html Look for "Golden Fretless". He also has some nice close up shots of the instrument. Ironically, I mainly play Fender or that style of instrument, which I love, and I'm woeful on fretless, despite numerous attempts at trying to master it!

Hellzero Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Can't agree more, the Pagelli Golden Fretless is to me, with the Ibanez AFR, the most beautiful bass ever. Wanted to put the photo last night, but went to bed, you know sometimes there's a calling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they are every bit as functional as any other bass, and there are videos of them on YouTube, and they sound pretty damn good to me. Personally, I find these designs far more interesting and aesthetically compelling than the typical bass designs that's just a minor variation on what Leo Fender designed more than half a century ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
