Looks interesting. I don't quite understand what was done with the strap buttons (I suspect the choice of that body shape was Silly, given it was going to have all that extra weight at the headstock), and I don't like the name, but definitely interesting.

The more of his stuff I hear, the more I feel his absence. Much missed.

I have an urge to drop it on someone.

I think this is a foul act and should be looked into.

If I absolutely had to have a purple bass (glam band, perhaps?), I'd go for this scheme... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gypsy-Rose-E-Bass-GRB1K-PPB-Pink-Purple-Burst-Shortscale-/331914185927?hash=item4d47a08cc7:g:bKkAAOSwtnpXj8KI Caution: this may constitute a radiation hazard

1) Work out what 440-Hz key the bagpipes come closest to. 2) Transpose song to suit. 3) Buy a suitable tartan kilt and bearskin, it just doesn't look right without them. (Or sound right with them, at least to some people's ears )

The space which might possibly be usable for a settee is all full of basses... Same goes for the bank balance, in a negative sort of way.

I've looked at it, and I understand none of it as yet. But I'm grateful the OP has put the time and effort in. Thanks

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1469221323' post='3096850'] How thick must that neck be? It looks like a thick fingerboard, and it says there's a 1" diameter steel reinforcement underneath that. [/quote] Builder would be better off making EUBs...

Charge extra for lots of extra work that's hard to see even in the photo... from 20 feet away it'll just be an ugly red splodge.

I'm sure it's a wonderful bass, but I hate the colour scheme. It looks as if it's got too much sugar in it, and not much actual nutrition.

I've got an ex-demo USA-made Millennium. I got it from Peavey UK a couple of years back, well before they shut up shop. I'm not going to say what it cost, for fear kodiakblair will have a serious cardiac episode. It came with a hard case, even.

This one is a four-string (seems unusual) and the seller claims it's German-made. Sussex; poor photos. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Infinity-4-String-Bass-Guitar-/122048651020?hash=item1c6aaa9f0c:g:K7IAAOSwqfNXjBmu

Blimey... Also, HE'S QUITE LOUD, ISN'T HE? That's weird enough to get attention without a foghorn, IMO.

All true, of course. I just hope he doesn't come up with something actually worth buying... (Not that I have anything against the stuff he is selling, but you know what I mean.)

We played a covers gig at a nursing home this afternoon. Too hot, and too many mistakes, but my singing is improving and the residents seemed to like us.
