dyerseve Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Love the fact that they described as a bolt-on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hardly the only issue with the description. Number of strings: 5 strings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.

rushbo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
