SH73 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It seem to appear that some rockstars are desperate to top up their pension. That bass is revolting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what he does with the extra coin? Surely he doesn't need it to keep up the house what with Queen even split royalties pouring in.

naxos10 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Not sure many 'beginners' are going rush out and buy one at £895. Edited December 22, 2021 by naxos10 Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I hear that this bass comes with a special tuner that has Anita Dobson singing the Eastenders theme tune when you switch it on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimalkin Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I can't wait to get the EB Joe Dart coffee pot and coaster set. It features Joe's jocular gait on each piece, holding a thumb aloft with an emanating word bubble exclaiming "Only me!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I like it! I don't like the price tag though. I wouldn't pay £900 for it. If it was priced at around £300 it might be tempting. To be fair, I'm fine with most basses that aren't generic, bland Fender shaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I quite like it, looks-wise. I think the design looks better as a bass than a guitar actually🤯 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I won’t be queuing to with tenners clenched in my hand to buy one but at least it’s based around a guitar he owns and designed around a shape which is unique to him. The one that got me was when Martin issued the George Martin signature acoustic guitar… yes THAT George Martin the famous finger picker from The Beatles… hmmm… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 At least its exactly how Brian May imagined it in his one vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale length is quite interesting though. I'd have thought that with a mahogany body it would probably balance pretty well. Scale length is, concidently, exactly the same as my first (& only) home built bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I quite like the look of it, can't really see what the negativity is about. It has a Ripper/Grabber vibe about it which I think is cool. Price is a bit steep but only time will tell if it's priced wrong. I'm do agree though that bass playing Queen fans will surely go for a looky-likey P bass, or Stingray.

AndyTravis Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I think it’s a nice eb3/SG Bass alternative. My daughter is Brian May mad…and plays a bit of bass. at £900 or £600 used - it’s just a bit of a stretch for her to mess about on…currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Having never played any gibson style EB type basses I'm quite intrigued by the pickups on the BM sig. At least they didn't just plonk a couple of J pickups or a split P in that body shape. Edited December 25, 2021 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
