Cyprusbass92 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I personally have a PB61SP and it feels fantastic! What are your thoughts on the parker bass guitars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 A bit of a rare bird in these parts. Personally I think the Parker Fly shape suits the guitar far better than the bass (I have a P38 and it is a lovely comfortable, good sounding guitar), though I'd love to try the bass version.

Golchen Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I love the shape of the guitars (I have a deluxe) but for me, I don't think that they got the bass shape right. It looks too ....... fat ..... to me! I'm sure that they play superbly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The Fly guitars are gorgeous, and if I was a guitard I'd have one in a heartbeat. The Fly basses are, to my mind, utterly fugly. Golchen's right, they look lardarsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny-lad Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I have a P-44 guitar and it's a great instrument...I'd love to try one of the basses, but they're a bit too pricey for me at the moment. Contrary to quite a few people, I think the basses look quite good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I tried one a few years ago at a guitar show in London... The Carbon Fibre neck was lovely and it balanced well on a strap, sound wise it was difficult to tell with all the noise going around but it's active with jazz type pick ups and it sounded like it would do the job. I think they stopped making them since then but the PB series looks pretty much the same. But as everyone else has said, damn - they're ugly. Love the guitars, if I had the cash I'd probably have one Flys....marvelous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Love the look, but I tried one a few years ago (carbon fibre neck) and it was great except I couldn't stop the upper body sticking into my ribs - sitting or standing, it was always giving me a poke! The electronics were interesting..involved Jbass pickups and piezos, but I didn't get on with it enough to work them out. Very disappointed - but I'd love to try another one.
