Clarky Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Can I point out that said Paul Jackson now has an ESP signature bass that is (a) not a FSO and (b) has a headstock that makes AC's look like Audrey Hepburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: By the way, I prefer the ESP’s headstock shape 😂😂 Edited July 25, 2020 by Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The oddest thing i find is starting an odd “they are expensive and crap and not with the money (though I’ve never played one)“ thread is picking a slightly obscure American luthier who I don’t think that many of us on basschat will have played either. not enough to care passionately about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the American manufacturer (a luthier is somebody crafting violins, cellos, double-basses and the like in Italy) you refer to is not known in BassChat, why did I receive so many replies of people who will use, for instance, a Fender CS ad fire-wood if they were given the opportunity to acquire an AC by doing so? 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Christ what a thread! Prices are down to simple business, Fenders overheads won’t be nearly as much as Alleva Copollos or whatever it is called. Some people clearly feel that it is superior product to a fender otherwise Jimmy wouldn’t have a business. Same as Sadowsky ect. A lot of players are used to Fender shapes and therefore they are popular. I like overwater J series, so I bought one. I also like Sire which is a lot cheeper. Does that make me regret the Overwater? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 So to summarise: Bassist likes 70s music, especially The Headhunters Bassist likes Fender P bass, as used in The Headhunters Bassist can't understand people paying more money for a hand-built bass which borrows heavily from Fender Move along. Life too short etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t you go and buy what I presume is a 70s fender precision bass like that man in the picture and Er play it and be happy. you could then make a thread along the lines of “look at my lovely precision bass like my bass playing hero of mine, it makes me really happy to own and play it” - and you need not concern yourself about other manufacturers that you’ve not played, and can’t justify buying and - well you’ve got a lovely precision bass so you’re happy ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This is the point, in my opinion Overwater makes super J-basses, which do not seem to have anything to envy to AC, but they are sold at ore affordable prices ..

Correct and from lutes the bowed instruments, which were the specialty of the luthiers of the past, descended .. not certainly the solid body electric guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
