tauzero Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 The Alpher seems to have taken a little inspiration from the Musicman Big Al. Doesn't do it for me, but I agree that it's nice to see someone doing something different. 1 Quote
neepheid Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 20 frets? Centrally located pickup? Ever so slightly beefed up BBOT bridge? It's a P bass that had a fight with a dodecahedron and lost! I actually quite like how it looks. But it's like me in a new shirt - apart from the change of shirt, it's still the same barely proficient bass player! 4 Quote
Bassassin Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 Sort of looks like a Soviet era manufacturer's take on angular 80s styling. Kinda like it. 2 Quote
LukeFRC Posted September 25, 2022 Author Posted September 25, 2022 this lot did well out of a change of shirts and suits - just saying Quote
Crawford13 Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 Wow, what an instrument for that price. Dangerous... 1 Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 If Sir Clive Sinclair designed basses. Quote

I do like thaqt design - different, but still classy - (like the Nordstrand Acinonyx). Nice finishes and look too. Hmm.... I thought of the Acinonyx as soon as I saw this. Very nice. Quote

Crusoe Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 It's not for me. It makes me think of when car manufacturers decide that curvy body shapes are passé, so start designing boxy cars. Quote
