  1. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1305860' date='Jul 16 2011, 03:56 PM']I have to say, if that ebY listing is halfway reasonable then senman's is underpriced.

    Dude, make sure you get proper money for it![/quote]

    Well, I think my price is fair for a B1. As for that one on Ebay. That guy bought that bass a few weeks
    ago from Tim Harden of buzzardbass.com for 12000 USD (that bass is not in the same pristine conditon than mine)
    and is now trying to sell for 55....
    Well, I know at least one other for sale that is also around my price tag....

  3. Guys,
    well there is an intersting bass for sale currently on Ebay.
    It is an Emerald Miotas Custom Made One-Off Bass.
    Here is some background information from Emerald themselves:

    A few weeks ago I had the privelage to travel to China for A concert by Wang Leehom. For the past 3 years Leehom has been entertaining huge audiences all over Asia with his special Bahamut dragon guitar that I built for him and the show I attended in Guangzhou saw the tour come to a close. Its been an amazing thing to be part of and to mark the occasion I was inspired to build another dragon.

    Miotas the pearl dragon was born for my trip to the Pearl river and I brought him along on the trip. Im am now auctioning Miotas off and you can have the opportunity to own one of my hand carved creations. This is a beautiful bass that plays and sounds as good as it looks.

    Please follow this link to our ebay auction:

  4. [quote name='k-sad' post='1239641' date='May 21 2011, 08:34 PM']This is sooooo appealing...

    Never thought some "carbon only" instrument could do that but this one seems real nice... Any soundclips? 4 band preamp?[/quote]


    Hi,
    here is a link to a video of a smilar bass. Don't mind the wood top, it is only a thin veneer for optics and no sound affecting.
    It is Volume, PanPot, Highs, Bass, Mid and Mid Frequency

  5. Well,
    this turns out to a joke.
    I see this now on the Statii forum from a collaborator of this project:

    love it, hate it...whatever. We are talking about Entwistle here on the forum, a lot more people will be reminded of him, we'll raise more money to put music rooms in hospitals for sick kids...I'm buying a hybrid, I'll let you know what I think once I've actually played one, I'm not forming an opinion based on looking at a product shot.

    Fact is, that I got an email from the head of the foundation two weeks ago after I had asked him about the bass and he told me that this bass has nothing to do with the foundation... ??????

    There is a WHO song that matches:
    We won't get fooled again......

  6. Guys,
    Oliver (senmen) here. I have to step in into that.
    Well, for us it is all clear what is going on here. Money making. Period.
    To me as a big JE fan and this from the heart this thing is absolutely damaging Johns heritage.
    As for the Deans. No comment....
    I have owned and played Alembic JE Spyder 4 and 8string, my custom Alembic Dragon Wing Tears for John, my old Buzz2, a Warwick Buzzard, my actual B2 and now also my B1. And I must say: nothing beats the B1. Nothing.
    But spending 6,5K on that Dean Spyder. Well, for that money I would rather buy a used Alembic JE Spyder from the 2003 limited series.
    As for Warwick and Status:
    there is something that is not true. Warwick is still producing and advertising the Buzzard. He is now named JE Buzzard. What Chris said is to my knowledge not totally ok. The rights on the name John Entwistle in collaboration with musical instruments is stopped now and therefore now given to Dean.
    BUT: the most serious thing is that Warwick could convince the lawyers that he was the designer of the Buzzard and not JE or better said he could convince the lawyers that he did provide more design details than JE.
    And that is the problem. Everyone who will try to produce a Buzzard will be sued by Warwick!
    Therefore no go for Status even if Chris is saying no problem!
    As for Alembic. I talked to them yesterday as I really have a good relationship to them. They are not amused and will communicate that to Dean. But there are no existing copyrights so it might be taken as is.....
    Cheers
    Oliver
