Clarky Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yuck! Clearly this eBayer is not Mani under a different guise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It could be Robert Young's. He played bass then switched to guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Snoopy bass. Curse you, Red Baron!! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) I think it's Henry Olsen's bass. He played with the Scream from Screamadelica up until Mani joined them on Vanishing Point after their break. Remember seeing him play live with them a fair few times. Always thought he looked pretty cool, in a suit, polo-neck with an old sunburst Precision. Pretty tight player too. That is a horrible monstrosity though, that he's selling.

steverickwood Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I guess I'm in the minority saying 'cool bass'! Aside from the unneccesary amount of strings:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 It looks like the builder started to carve the body shape then just lost interest & gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 For a single-cut I think the shaps is quite nice (much better than those with a massive bump where the top horn should be) but the control area looks a bit messy with the mixture of control knob types and the jack plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Actually having looked again the Fodera is more extreme than I remember, but there is one manufacturer who make one with a MAHOOOSIVE bump, can't remember who now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
