Buzz Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I like the BTX400: [url="http://www.bunker-guitars.com/btx_400.html"]http://www.bunker-guitars.com/btx_400.html[/url] I'd go with another bridge option though, fine tuners on a bass bridge? Pfffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 looks impractical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ugly as sin, but 10/10 for thinking outside the box (and I'm not being sarcastic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pricechris10 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Yep...ugly buggly! If they did exclusively headless they would be bit better ( arguably ). Fine tuners on the bridge. Different..but why? Price tag quite hefty as well, although nice woods! General spec looks nice. So why blow it with the aesthetics? AND WHAT'S WITH THAT ONE IN THE PHOTO ( 1970's doo dah )? Looks like a Big wooden finger! Edited February 22, 2009 by pricechris10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yet another crappy web site that has the appearance of being last updated about 10 years ago and looks as though it only works properly in IE... Which is a pity as Dave Bunker has some very interesting ideas about bass guitar design and construction which are incorporated into his instruments and also some in the [url="http://www.henbev.com/b4.html"]Henman Bevilacqua B4 bass[/url]. Even I have to admit that the 1970 pro-bass has most definitely fallen out of the ugly tree, but most of his other designs are much more pleasing especially the hollow-bodied ones. Like all non-mainstream looking instruments the resale value tends to be a fraction of the new cost. I've seen a few nice looking Bunker Basses come up on TalkBass at very attractive prices over the last couple of years, but no-one selling them has been prepared to ship to the UK so far.
