Kiwi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Looks like the love child of a Warwick Streamer and a Ritter Roya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 would that be based on the bassist for alien ant farm's signature bass? the one fender used to make? just wondering becuase its similar, its cool anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ooooooo. Classy looking instrument !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesfinn Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 thanx guys! its a bit of a weird one in terms of what its based on...believe it or not the shape of the base of the instrument was actually based on a strange onion that i found! the rest of it is a bit of a mash up of a warwick streamer, pedulla and a ritter roya. the shape worked out better than i orginally thought too.
