geoffbassist Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 hi guys, ive been having serious hand problems and have been considering buying a torzal twist. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLi8pOa6zYk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLi8pOa6zYk[/url] i would really love to play one or get some feedback off anyone who has. It seems like a great idea..... cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just thought I'd resurrect this as I've just come across the youtube vid whilst looking at something else... VERY different! I take it no-one has one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm stuck thinking about set up and getting the string/fretline straight and more or less parallel. Amazing idea. I'm imagining taking it into a shop for P/ex and say 'the neck's supposed to be like that'. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Can you bend notes on it - that was my first thought. Unfortunately the second thought required to work it out for myself was just too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I love it. However I cannot imagine either how the neck is made or what you do if the neck actually [i]does[/i] twist..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I got into quite a long and involved discussion with Jerome Little when I first came across these basses, and he did explain in detail how the neck works - my concern was with how the truss-rod worked with a twisting neck since every bass I've bought from the US has need some serious adjustments to cope with the change to the UK climate. Unfortunately I've since deleted the emails, but he seemed keen to explain it all so if anyone's seriously interested in buying one I'd drop him a line and ask. BTW he's built a neck for a [url="http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?page=bassen&BassenID=27"]Bas Extravaganza bass[/url], so there's one available a little closer to the UK to try, and with the current exchange rates actually works out slightly cheaper than a Little.
