molan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Whilst I'm a lover of flashy tops on nice basses I always think that a Fender should have a 'classic' colour finish & never sure about their attempts to play the custom builders at their own game. The custom shop have just published pics of this Dennis Galuszka Masterbuilt model - just wondered what people thought of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) That's odd - I can see the pic on my machine but not on iPhone! Here's a libk to the page http://twitpic.com/9zegop/full Edited June 23, 2012 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Cheers, maybe it's because I'm on an iPad. Anyway - crikey, I wish I hadn't asked! :-) Not my cup of tea at all. I dislike quilted maple anyway, and agree that Fender should leave the fancy stuff to the 'boutique' builders? And the gold hardware.... No no no! All IMO of course Edited June 23, 2012 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankdave Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I do love quilted maple, but thier are better colours for it and gold h/w is a no for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooz Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The tort-pickguard on that top is a bit too much of … couloured vortex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That anaemic neck doesn't really go with the rest of the bass does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I didn't want to like it but its lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Bleeeurgh! I've just been sick in my mouth. It looks like when a cheap, no-name, far-east manufacturer tries to make what they feel is an "upmarket" looking bass (although that does look like a quality piece of quilted maple).

tauzero Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The quilted maple is nice, the scratchplate is rubbish, the gold hardware really doesn't go well with it, the knobs look cheap and nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1340460838' post='1704755'] sex.. [/quote] Maybe. But this is the equivalent of sheep shagging.

BassPimp66 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Does it come with a Pimp hat? What about encrusting "P.I.M.P" in crystal on the pickguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I think it would have looked much nicer with chrome hardware and a white pearloid pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Doesn't work at all for me... looks to be trying too hard and it fails woefully. Quilted is ok...but you need to let the figure come out not cover it up. You would most likely miss all that feature more than a few mtrs away so there is no point. People like Petersen and Sadowsky do this stuff so much better aesthically, IMO. Null point.....totally misses the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
