Baiful semi

[alyctes]

Three pictures for this...  only 1500 euros.

It might well be a great bass, but someone needs to work on their advertising skills.

Don't think I've heard of Baiful before, maybe if you know, you know.

 

Looks to me to be aesthetically inspired by the highly collectable 50s/60s Wandre basses & guitars, has similar weird/wonky proportions. Must be an Italian thing.

According to the language used, it's coming from Italy @Bassassin. 😉

And the brand is called MN Guitars, Baiful being a bass model: https://www.facebook.com/mnguitars67/

Same.  Not conventional, but it has a certain something, for sure.

I like it. 

 

Do you think the bass clef sound hole was meant to look like a bird when the instrument is in playing position? It does also look like a pipe on wheels which gives it a nice surrealist vibe.

That would be @TheGreek 's inspirational Psilos, Frank

I rather like that 🙂

Shame I don't have £2k to blow as an experiment to find out what it sounds like.

For those who don't remember the tome that accompanied the build, by the way, I should explain that the inspirational bit was entirely @TheGreek 's .   

 

When I try to create a bit of inspiration, it usually ends up like this

Must get it out of its case...I'm only playing 5ers though...
