warwickhunt Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It's nothing to do with an ebay sale as such hence I've put it in this section. I think that this 'bass builder' misunderstands the reason why we have a bridge... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAM-custom-hand-made-Bass-guitar-one-off-with-Fender-strings-Gibson-Lacquer-/221096981163?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item337a6832ab#ht_500wt_1203"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAM-custom-hand-made-Bass-guitar-one-off-with-Fender-strings-Gibson-Lacquer-/221096981163?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item337a6832ab#ht_500wt_1203[/url] Aside from the fact that the saddles are set to follow the shape of the bridge (they could be reset easy enough); the plonker has used dome head screws (not even sure how substantial they would be at holding the bridge) which means that there are certain places that you can't set the saddles and what happens when your G string needs to be set forward of the D string as it is set now?

Darkstrike Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Made of perspex too? Total WTF machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I quite like the perspex theme, not sure how strong they'd be long term though. But the bridge and pickups seem to have been made / installed by someone who knows nothing about guitars. Still, it has got Gibson lacquer.

Ou7shined Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It would be quite tasty if that was glass and not perspex. But yeah bonkers set up. I don't know if it's just the perspective but the scale looks a little odd too. And what's that leaking out of the fret markers, glue?

Conan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Funny looking thing isn't it? It kind of "almost" works.... but doesn't. Nice wood - but the pickup in that position just looks wrong. And the knobs are horrible... But yes - that bridge is just stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
