Paul_C Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I wonder if it will intonate correctly, that bridge looks a bit close to the end of the neck. I'd ask to see proof of the "patent" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 "A one off" .... that's one too many IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've seen people moaning that they could fit a business card down the sides of their neck pocket. You could get a frigging novel into that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm guessing he kept whittling away more and more og the body to get the shape right, till he ran out of wood. It certainly is rather special. I think coffin is quite apt, as I'd not want to be seen dead buying/owning/playing this one-off creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I asked him for the patent number. He replied: [quote]yes ...registered at office of patents.[/quote] It's called the Patent Office anyway, mostly I want to see what is novel about this. The Misfits guy has had a knobless bass for ages, wired straight to output, so it isn't novel. Edited July 7, 2010 by Mr. Foxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I like Johnson necks, they are like half a baseball bat. Dislike the headstock shape though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
