mybass Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 As seen on the Notreble site this week, a tidy looking bass indeed. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/07/06/bass-of-the-week-tangente-instruments-domino-fretless/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looks nice. Interesting patterns. (Although I hate it when builders put fingerboard fret markers in the middle of the “fret” on a fretless?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akabane Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hmm, interesting looking instrument! I like the woods, finish, the patterns. I do NOT like the tone of yellow they chose for the decorations to go against that wood. I REALLY don't like how marked the fretboard is. (But I know that's just me. I like my fretless boards to be CLEAN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 That's really smart - but yes; they've used one neck design for fretted and just replaced frets with lines for fretless - tsk, dots and markers in the middle. I do like the concept though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It reminds me of those nail and string art pictures you'd see in the 60s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Non lined fretless is my bag too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordep Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I like unlined too, but I think I will need the lines on a fanned fretless. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looks nice, except for the bridge that's angled just slightly too far backwards and doesn't follow the other lines on the bass. How annoying! Wouldn't have been necessary if they'd opted for an adjustable bridge. I really like the design though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Whilst it's sadly true that I have absolutely no 'taste' when it comes to design, aesthetics et al, if I had to vote on an 'Ugliest Bass Of The Year' award, the one linked to in the OP would be a hot contender. I don't think that I could be classed as a 'purist', or especially conservative, but that thing, even just as a photo, looks bad; under home or (heaven forbid..!) stage lights, I just can't imagine anyone being serious or keeping a straight face. Best kept in its custom case, I say, lid firmly closed, maybe soundly sealed and padlocked, to prevent accidents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I get the fret marker criticism, but to me that is only important on un unlined board. On this one, especially with the added inlays, it isn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I like the look of the Eastwood Magnum advertised at the bottom of the linked page though, so thanks for that 👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Ewww .... designed in the 70s with string and nails. Not for me stylistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It certainly stands out but I don't like it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

String art, that is exactly what I saw (well, it wasn't a ship, it was a butterfly, but the idea). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
