KingBollock Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That Spider Bass is incredible! But then I have a thing for Spiders, I've got Tarantulas nearly as big... Though, oddly considering my love of spiky Basses, I can't stand the BC Rich Widow Bass (except the head, love the head, I made sure the Warlock I bought has the Widow head).

KingBollock Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1358375254' post='1938288'] Hah - it's quite literally a beast, isn't it? BTW - did you ever get the action issue sorted on your BC Rich? [/quote] Sort of. I have it in a playable state and it plays great, but the bridge is incomplete and if I were to bust a string I'd lose a saddle. I know what I need to do to it, I just need to get around to it. I want to take it to someone to get it properly looked at first, but finding the money for that ain't so easy. See the two pieces of the saddle? Well I currently have the strings resting on just the little insert bit, with the part that holds it taken away, so the saddles aren't fixed into place and are rather precariously balanced. What I really need is new inserts about half as high as the current ones (and preferably in stainless steel, to go with the frets and the nut I dream of putting in there some day), but I am having no luck finding any. I will probably have to grind the currents ones down, as I had initially planned, but we'll see. I'm not in a band so I am in no real hurry.

C'mon don't be [s]dumb[/s] (Sorry, offensive), [s]stupid[/s] (oops, and again), naive (hopefully safe?), can you get some context...oh, and humour. [s]Jeeez[/s] (Abbreviation of something probably offensive in your world, so probably should strike it out!).

Whilst some words don't offend you, they may well offend others, in the same way that Jeez may offend you, but not others. I think the intent is far more important than the words themselves. Anyway, this is getting off-topic. I thought we'd finished on this vain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another nomination: http://www.edroman.com/detail_sheets/washburn_bootsy_bass_d267.html (why won't the uploader attach the files I select?) We can love (or otherwise) Bootsy, but surely his basses are his, aren't they? If someone wanted to be this individual they wouldn't want to be copying, would they? This, to my mind, is why this bass is ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
