OutToPlayJazz Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 To use the Clarkson analogy, if you were in a top function band at a London glitterati party and you were trying to impress Kiera Knightly, you wouldn't be playing a bass like that.

MacDaddy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 [quote name='Bassman68' post='706551' date='Jan 9 2010, 01:46 PM']Reminds me of some of those old Guild basses.[/quote] is what I was gonna say - the B301 and B302. I had a black vintage B301 and it was ACAF so I voted cool would prefer a different headstock though, or headless - neckdive was a problem.

Tait Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i voted uncool, but i didn't realise prosebass was planning on building one! it would definatly be cool in say white with a black pickguard, or like someone else suggested earlier zebrano. its just that horrible purple and hideous pickguard (sparkly pink, the shape is pretty cool)!

I was going to say; "Dunno if it's cool/uncool/subzero, I haven't played it yet..." It could sound like God burping... And, irrespetive of aesthetics, that carries a bit a weight IMHO!
