TheGreek Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The seller has had the same monstrosities for sale for a while...I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but personally I think they need to go to Specsavers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Not to my tastes, but fair play for trying something a bit out there. Edited December 27, 2018 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Prices aren't outrageous (quite sensible for some) but I really don't get the 3-pickup thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I think a couple of these creations have been posted here before. I quite like the wonky-looking Westone type one for some reason, it rides that fine line between completely janky and a recognisable bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had another look and I think my parents had a wardrobe made of that exact wood when I was a kid. EDIT- What "c0ck-eyed" is picked up by the swear filter? I guess this site is racist against northerners now, be banning whippets and racing pigeons next.

Bassassin Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I was actually quite impressed by the control panels. I think it must take a lot of skill and patience, when lacking the correct tools, to be able to chew the plastic into a suitable shape. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I love the caveat - "imperfections might be noticed..." Bloody right they might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I don’t know what these sound like, but I played a 3-p-pup Maruszczyk Bass once. Fugly, but an amazing range of sounds for a fully passive instrument.
