Annoying Twit Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I like this somehow. Looks funky and different. Unless it's a copy of something I'm not familiar with.

Amused to see the "£10 million bass" on that site. Returning to the original listing, I just noticed this: [quote]This guitar is going down to intasound leicester on monday, so get youz ass down to narborough rd and try it out for yourself.[/quote] Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh/wood on Monday then.

Bassassin Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I like that, very sleek & economical styling. You can imagine Wishbasses might be a bit like that if it wasn't for the drugs. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Interesting to see that he's copied my least favourite feature of the CT bass - the "bobble" around the jack socket, which on a proper CT is needed because the body would otherwise be too thin to accept the socket (and jack plug). Judging from the other photos that's not the case with this bass. If you get to try it out please report back here with your findings.

Annoying Twit Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Ahem. I don't think I'm really qualified to give a good review of any bass. But a fretless? Erm, ...... I'll say what it looks like up close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 I thought this looked very nice close up. I didn't try and play it, but had a close look. Not that I'd claim to really know, but I thought the workmanship looked very good, and the whole overall effect very visually pleasing.

BigRedX Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) By having a new bridge made just like on a real CT fretless bass. Edited July 18, 2010 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
