Love the fact that they described as a bolt-on!

[tauzero]

Hardly the only issue with the description.

 

Number of strings: 5 strings

[Newfoundfreedom]

Wow! I don't know which is worse. The looks or the price. 

[Paul S]

Number of frets 25 or more.  Ran out of fingers and toes so had to guess the remainder?

Fell from the top of the ugly tree and hit every single branch on the way down.

At least it's not boring. That's a far worse crime.

Fixed.

Hardly worth looking into the technical details on such a budget instrument. 😉

While there is nothing wrong in itself about the mainstream, surely as creative people (musicians) we should be prepared to look beyond. Why are so many of us seemingly afraid of standing out?

 

Besides I though you had me on ignore...

[ahpook]

"Girth". I want the neck to really say "Girth"

I did but took it off.  I like a laugh every now and then   And, in truth, I find many of your insights and experiences to be interesting and valuable. 

 

I have no problems with individuality at all but you seem to feel a need to ram this down everyone's throats at every given opportunity - as soon as there is talk of anything mainstream you'll wade in with yet another disaparaging post.  I'm sure all the regulars on this site get it by now, you think outside the box, so there is no need to keep on about it, really - for me it dilutes the quality of your contributions on here.  But then again I am a grumpy old curmudgeon so who gives a toss what I think.

I believe 12 rounds of bare knuckle boxing are in order to solve this dispute. Over-arm style of course. My monies on the grumpy old curmudgeon. 😆

It's beautiful. Shame about the price, if it was a tenth of that I'd be tempted.

[rushbo]

That's pretty much a sampler platter of everything I dislike about bass guitar styling.

 

But...

 

It does look beautifully made and although they are super-cheesy, I love the fret markers. 

 

If you're in a super-upscale Goth band, that's got to be the Gold Standard of bass luthiery. 

 

 

[lemmywinks]

I guess if you like the shape and want a 7 then why not go all in? I always hated the Vampyre but it did really suit the fella from Nightwish

 

 

 

 

One of those basses that has the right look for the right player and gig, probably look a bit silly running through tatty old covers down the local like.

I had an identical Vampyre to this a while back, it was serial number 001 confirmed to be the very first ever made by Hans P Wilfer. Regret selling it!

Beautiful finish that, really suits the bass.

Superb!

[StingRayBoy42]

I wouldn't want to own it, but it's undoubtedly an incredible looking thing!
