OldGit Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 We could all ask him for some sound samples and video of him playing it ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddBass Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Sorry, but this is simply horrible..... [font="Arial Black"]No 'musician' who could do a 13 string bass justice, would be seen playing this 'Argos reject' drift wood.[/font][size="4"][/size] Just my opinion...

Snarf Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 What's an oppertuity? More to the point, what's wod?? AND only 33" scale length??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oooh, aren't we all being bitchy today!! Besides, with a neck of those dimensions a nice light wood like pine sounds like a good idea. Can you imagine the weight if it was made of Wenge or something? Not something that would interest me though, and you have to ask why he's selling it, unless its a commercial venture?

Alpha-Dave Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Just get practical for a moment, from the close-ups of the strings, there doesn't seem to be much thickness variation across the board, even taking perspective into account. I think he's used 3-4 Es, a couple of As, a B and a few Gs and Ds. The thinnest 3 strings certainly aren't plain as they would need to be, and the thickest certainly isn't a .145-.175 for a low C#!!!

Telebass Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Wrong. Just wrong. Pine? Wronger. Knotty pine? Wronger still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 He didn't need two fingers either. Does that mean we shouldn't use two-finger right-hand technique? He also didn't need a set-up on his bass... ever. Does that mean we shouldn't get the benefit of one? All that said, this bass is revolting.

paul, the Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I [b]do[/b] mean to be prejudice here [b]and[/b] to generalise. But judging by his appearance, taste in music, spelling and grammar - I bet he's never played anything beyond four strings (not inherently a bad thing, of course) and he's just built a many stringed bass for the sake of building a many stringed bass and oneupmanship. Assuming he doesn't have any mental disabilities beyond poor development. Sorry if I sound mean, but this is silly. Oh, and for the record; I apolygise for my appearance, taste in music, spelling and grammar - at least I'm not trying to build a 14 stringed bass.

3V17C Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 haha...what a terrible attempt at making a bass..... loads of people from projectguitar and other sites have left comments about the problems with his build but he just deletes them and blocks people from posting again. he only leaves up comments from people who think he has actually done a good job.....the fools!!! you should also check out his video showing off his tattoos....haha....the spider man one is awesome!!! ...er ....not peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
