lemmywinks Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Makes total sense, why wouldn't a butchered cheapy be worth £500+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Tub Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) That is horrific. But.... I actually think it's a good idea. I know Warwick have their Alien acoustic bass (which I think is gorgeous), but a proper HR Geiger/Alien bass could be a wonderful creation! Edit: Of course, it would have to fight with Dood's Predator bass! :brow: Edited June 14, 2010 by Hot Tub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The carving would take a lot of time, but it is still from a cheap low bidder bass kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Neck & bridge pups are in wrong places & neck pup in bridge position is offset & doesn't line up. No idea!. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT3781 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 honestly no idea what to say.. Perhaps he should take it on dragons den, get funding to purchase a factory then mass produce them so we can all own one at a fraction of the price of the coveted original! That way, whoever clicks *buy it now* in this auction will be sitting on a gold mine as soon as someone famous plays one of these basses. I think we should all admire his entrepreneurship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robocorpse Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I quite like it, but not for 500 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Close up it looks like a bad job IMO, plus the headstock looks awful. I'd bag it for a tenner though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
