Baloney Balderdash Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) An acquired taste no doubt. I do like some aspects of it actually, but the body design is a tad overly bulgy for my taste, and the neck too wide, and in my personal opinion the color of the wood used for the neck/fretboard, I assume Maple, doesn't match the body, if I had had a say in the design I would have used Wenge as fretboard wood, even roasted maple would have looked better. That's of course a question of personal preferences, and I actually get why somebody might like it, as said an acquired taste, just not for me personally.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Nice idea and execution. I like the idea of concealed controls, but they don't make for easy on-the-fly adjustments. Whilst searching for the price, I happened on the options, which were not as plentiful as you'd like for what is ostensibly a custom at such a high price. I'd be wanting an Ebony board, and 4 or 6 string options. Didn't see a fretless option, either. Quote
BassApprentice Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Always cool to see progress and new ideas being executed to this level. Not for everyone, as stated above, but to have the option for something new and unique - it's pretty cool. Apparently they can print almost any image for the "top wood" section. 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I think it's stunning and if I had the money I would have ordered one already. 26 minutes ago, Lfalex v1.1 said: Nice idea and execution.

OliverBlackman Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 At least if you get a ding on the top your mum could sew it back up Quote

Fretless (lined maple or unlined) is on the list of options, and there are some photos of a fretless in the gallery. Maple, ebony, rosewood, birdseye maple are the fretboard options. Singlecuts have never appealed to me - I've never liked the looks. This seems quite an ingenious approach but the aesthetics put me off. Quote

Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Sounds utterly bland to my ears. A demo with a pick or some distortion would have been nice. Quote
