kodiakblair Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Can't see a change in colour will make it lighter than mines. Still think of the savings on gym fees at £2.20 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wesley-Bass-Guitar-5-String-Electric-Bass-Clear-Pyrex-Transparent-See-Through-/201141215393?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2ed4f360a1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Says 'Clear Pyrex' in the description. Good for tarts? I'll get me coat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Don't forget it has that 'all important 5th string'. Sadly 3 of my basses lack this essential component Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Given its clear Pyrex, at least the diagnosis of a detached wire should be accurate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I bought one of these for a fiver, I was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 They do sound quite good, handle that " all important 5th string " well. Even with the bridge bottomed out the actions high on mines and neck shims in a see thru bass don't seem right. Weight is crazy. About the same as the 14lb sledgehammer I was using last week.

BigRedX Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I used to have a defretted 4-string version of this bass. The relatively small body made the weight of the acrylic bearable. Is the 5-string body significantly bigger? I wouldn't have thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeyfivebags Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I used to have one of these and they are indeed incredibly heavy. Alright sounding but huge neck on them. Edited August 8, 2014 by Joeyfivebags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
