ras52 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Sneak peek at the new Retrovibe... vaguely reminiscent of something I've seen before, but not too much ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 On the whole I like what Mr Retrovibe does so I don't want to be uncharitable. However: shonky Vigier Passion knockoff with a grotesque tumour and the control cover from a nasty plywood 70s SG copy. Sorry. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have to say, I don't like the headstock... The Evo looks a great bass just that headstock screams BCRICH or other metally guitar to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the headstock shape came from trying to make a 2up-2down version of the 4-in-line Vantage headstock. I basically reflected the slightly hooked (hawked?) beak of the Vantage headstock and shortened the lower one slightly to balance the upper and lower bouts on the body. That headstock shape then became the template for the upper and lower bouts on the EVO model. Glad to hear you like some bits though!

lee4 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Love the look of the EVO. Perhaps a double 'bucker version should be produced(Warwick $$ pup placement?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a double 'bucker version should be produced(Warwick $$ pup placement?). [/quote] Now that would be an idea. I'll admit, I am quite intrigued by the Evo - the Miller version looks particularly clean. And, again, it's a good price point to give something a try.
