The wood (quilted poplar) look like water…..

....sorry, just looking forward to seeing how this beasty evolves.

Patiently waiting for the next instalment.....

Fanndec. You can just about make it out in one of the photos.

For me the next "big thing" doesnt have to be unique, never before seen, but could be the utilisation of technology in a way not fully exploited before or by making it available to a wider (bigger) audience. I know that some of the ideas below have been done before, its just that its usually theres something thats stopped them becoming widespread. Some ideas: Midi bass / interface that really works and doesnt cost the earth but allows you to use your bass Setting and saving amp eq to presets for easy re-call Alternate materials / composites (although I think Status might have been doing something like this for a while )

[quote name='Oversoul' timestamp='1378429939' post='2200299'] Hey you never know, 10 years ago I used to wonder when a major brand would release a 7 string bass. Ibanez did that a few months back! [/quote] I remember seeing about 10 years ago in the States, Conklin Groove Tools had their Korean version of the Sidewinder 7 string bass on sale at Guitar Centres. Although not as major a brand as Ibanez, but certainly not boutique.

Looks quite nice. Those dings could be worked on if you really wanted to. Bass Direct have new Kingston Z (lefty) for £800 special price so £400 doesnt seem bad to me. If you got the Ebay one and didnt like it you'd probably get your money back when you sell it

[size=4][quote name='Ghosts Over Japan' timestamp='1377959968' post='2194121'] what's the gorgeous one pointing the the 10o'clock position with the crazy double wooden top? wouldn't mind another full picture of that beauty! Stunning collection Cai [/quote][/size] [size=4]It’s an original USA made Conklin Sidewinder custom “melt-top”. Most Conklins you see in the UK are the Groove Tools Korean(?) models. Have a look at some of the crazy work they do here: [url="http://www.conklinguitars.com/"]http://www.conklinguitars.com/[/url][/size] [size=4]I’m thinking of thinning the herd down a bit more and this may be on that list with the Fender FMT. No doubt I’ll regret it….sob…sob [/size] [size=4][/size]

[size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]Nice and sunny day in [/font][/color][/size][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1][size=4]Aberdeen[/size][size=4] so I thought I would take a few of pics of "the family". Especially as I think I've just sold a couple and they will be leaving home soon. Here's one of them just lounging about If anyone's interested I can post a few more....[/size][/size][/font][/color] [size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial][/font][/color][/size][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1] [/size][/font][/color]

I did think about getting our kick drum skin done but then thought about where most of our gigs are - pubs, where the bass drum is below eye level and hidden behind our singers legs. I went for a banner for behind the band so all the audience could see who we are. Just my 2p worth....

Oooh.....subscribed and looking forward to the next instalments. This is going to be a pair of basses VERY different to normal. You seem to have listed a lot of things people tend not to like on a bass - figured "coffee table" top, single cut, chambered, carved top, headless, wide body, more than 4 strings, F-hole, blue-burst, active elecs.....I love the idea of combining them all

Just bought a Roscoe LG3005 from Graham. Great communication throughout. Quick shipping and the packaging was nuclear proof! Easy gent to deal with. Thank you.

Hi there, Welcome from another north o' the border! The bass looks a bit like a Hondo II Proffesional that I used to have many, many years ago. Weighed an absolute ton! if you put Hondo II Proffesional into Google you will get some similar images eg: [url="http://www.instrumentwire.com/guitar-ad-e300930014552"]http://www.instrumentwire.com/guitar-ad-e300930014552[/url] Mike

My first bass (after bodging together a home made Frankenstein) was a brand spanking new Kay “Les Paul-ish” shaped bass. I was 16 with cash burning in my pocket and I wanted a bass….any bass.[/color][/font][/size] [color=#222222][font=Arial][size=1][/size][/font][/color]

APC couriers?

Just bought a Samson C-Control & C-Que8 Headphone Amp from Alex. Good deal, great communication and packaging. What more can I say....thanks

Looks like a bad refret job to me as you can see where the fretboad wood has been lifted when pulling the old ones out. I guess the frets have been cut to length before fitting and not long enough to be trimmed / dressed afterwards. Also the crowns have been ground pretty flat in places. I wouldnt be too happy with this
