BigRedX Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 IMO it's no more or less a bass than the instrument in your avatar... (and I know which of the two I'd rather have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Looks like a pretty cool bass to me. Wouldn't suit Crosby, Stills & Nash but it does have a certain charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Genetic engineering has allowed them to insert the DNA from a Harley Davidson V-Rod into a donor egg taken from a Yamaha J-bass, producing this mutant zombie-axe. Normally, the aluminium sub-frame is concealed beneath a layer of synth-skin, allowing this monster to avoid detection ... until it's too late.

EdwardHimself Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 i must agree with what some people have said before, technically because it has 4 strings, it doesn't matter what it's made out of, it's still an electric bass. However the instrument in your avatar because it has so many strings, it's not actually a bass. There is a name for it but it's very crazy.

About £1400 shipped was last I heard. No UK dealers/ importers that I'm aware of. If they did a "Jazz", I'd own one by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the bass as a whole, it's a bit ridiculous, but each to his/her own. I'd certainly like to hear what it sounds like. Probably pretty industrial, with very little sustain is my guess.

binky_bass Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 haha, love the postcard, good work! as for changing my tune... just thought id tone down my thoughts on this bass... people didnt like my innitial "what the hell is this" remark. but still... deffinatly not a fan of it! call me shallow, but unless it sounded absolutly astonishingly ridiculously amazing, i just couldnt get rond the look of the thing! probably the T-1000's bass of choice, and if its good enough for him, then who am i to disagree! extended range bass or ERB if you will, would be the correct term for the "instrument" in my avatar.
