BigRedX Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes... but that instrument is so far removed from the standard Wishbass you see on eBay I'm not really surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Its all in the fingers. Wish will make with however many strings you ask for. Also, finishing is hugely time consuming so it is a pretty big cost, spend a week over Christmas putting the finish on my Wishbass, whats a weeks wages come to?

tauzero Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 [quote name='queenofthedepths' post='161379' date='Mar 21 2008, 12:39 PM']Since I've just bid on this, does anyone have any idea what it is? A tenor guitar?[/quote] Looking at the immensely high action and peculiar longitudinal bar running under it, and its lined fretlessness, I would say it's a lap steel guitar of some sort. The machine heads look very wrong for something tuned to bass tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Another one for those with 'acquired tastes'.
