bassgurumonster Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Just got this Explorerbird. I was toying with the idea of building one, but thanks to Karl Aldorfer pointing me in the right direction, I managed to find this beauty. Well chuffed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Nice bridge overhang. And surely it's a Fendersplorer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown_User Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I love the look of the Explorers as guitars, but I'm not sure if that shape works for me as a bass for some reason. Although I think that part of it may be the colour. The cranks we bought our house off must have had a job lot of paint in that exact colour because they'd put it all over the inside and outside of the house. Now when I see it it brings back bad memories of evenings and weekends spent decorating and fixing half-arsed workmanship while thinking "why the hell did they do that?!?!" Glad you're happy with your new bass though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I saw that on auction a few weeks ago, looked interesting but going for a bit too much and there was some other stuff I wanted to bid on (that I also didn't get!). Also I guess I can't get with that headstock shape on that body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
