binky_bass Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Well, these are a bit different! I don't really like the design, but I do like the idea for fully movable pickups. All very interesting. https://versoinstruments.com/en/gravis-bass-guitar/ Edited November 22, 2021 by binky_bass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 They must not read forums, otherwise they'd know they have committed a lot of cardinal sins of design there and the instruments must be next to useless. I'd love to try one. It's ugly as f*** but that's a really interesting interpretation of a stringed instrument. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It looks like a prop you'd see in the background of something like Mam from U.N.C.L.E or the Prisoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz39 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Wow. Different. Umm. It’s like a new album from a band you’ve not listened to for years: weird and hard to pin down but grows on you steadily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I wish he'd taken design clues from the body to copy in the headstock. Also having the pickup wire visible on the front is a poor choice, could have been even cleaner. Other than these two gripes, very interesting concept!

Hellzero Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I love the design and the ideas behind. I hate the look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 They look like 'if IKEA did basses'. I really like the concept of the fully movable magnetic pickups system, that's great, but the look is very love or hate for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodwind Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I've been following them in Instagram for a while. I wouldn't be rushing to buy one based on my current musical contexts, but I am very pleased they exist. The fewer Fender clones in the world the better as far as I'm concerned. I hope Robin does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 late to the party, just come across this via Premier Guitar; good to see something different, it would be great to have one at a bass bash to hear and play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
