BigRedX Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Take the carving away and it's just a standard bitsa P-bass. And why are these carved instruments always finished with a gloopy application of reddish varnish? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 That string spacing though - you’d have to get a cab between the A and D strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think it’s awesome. As a piece of art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It's very nicely crafted but basically a £200 bitsa P with a three grand carved dragon. I'd be concerned about the practical effect of removing big chunks of wood between neck & bridge, looks likely to flex & deform under string tension. Looks too delicate for anything more strenuous than hanging on the wall, anyway. His other bass looks a little bit more practical, still very silly but a bit less like the back of a seat in a Chinese restaurant: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bass-Guitar-phoenix-hand-carved-in-sycamore/353228993444 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 If the guy/girl can carve to that level...why is it a boggo standard neck with pen on the headstock. disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Name written on with a Sharpie... It's not, is it???... Crikey, no; it's someone else! Now I reckon that body's come from Aliexpress or similar, as its workmanship is widely divergent from the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
