Sure ive seen this on a dvd,ive definately seen it somewhere before(apart from here obviously!) Very Gerry Anderson!....Suits you Sir! Quote
Ou7shined Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 You'd have to be a right show off to play this..... like me. I really love the detail where the wood and alu meet. Pity about the $$$$. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Is it just me who thinks it looks tacky? Quote
Deep Thought Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Looks incredible, except for the interchangable wood bit, which looks like a folded rubber johnny. Quote
Kiwi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Its an early Spalt bass? Nice! I like these, but I'd prefer one that has the adjustable body bits. Quote
Bassassin Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Has someone stuck their hat on the top bout or what? Jon. Quote
farmer61 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) nah not for me I'm afraid, I'd look more stupid playing this than I normally do! Edited March 17, 2009 by farmer61 Quote
Hamster Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I don't know why, but I really want it! I can really see myself playing it, but wearing a lot of makeup, some kinky boots and a [i]moderate [/i]amount of ladies clothing Quote

Tinman Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I'm sorry but that has to be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. It looks like it's been built by someone with the same eye for aesthetics as Tracy Emin. 10 out of 10 for innovation but, no sorry, I don't get it. (All IMO of course ) Quote

BigRedX Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Its one of the Splat Hybrid bass prototypes. Gorgeous IMO, but the rest of you feel free to keep talking it down, that way I'll have less competition... However the sellers estimate of it's worth is somewhat inflated. From what I recall it sold originally for around the starting price and last time I was in contact with Michael Spalt a new one to my spec would have cost about $3000. Quote
josh3184 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 to slightly expand on my comment, I personally dislike it however I'm sure it'd have an aesthetic appeal to a minority! Quote
Kiwi Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 count me in, its very minimalist. I like that, there's thought gone in to what's absolutely necessary rather than carving an sexy looking shape that might fit the human contours so long as it doesn't look ugly... Quote

Ou7shined Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Nope I still like it. It really inspires me. I think I'll make one. I don't have access to alu casting but I could do a prototype from all wood. Quote

I doesn't look too bad IMO but it would look better if the wood on the body matched. Quote
Kev Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 i cannot believe this, but i love that so, so much!! On stage with that?? wow. Tacky?? It may be ugly to some, but tacky?? i don't see that at all. Quote
