dan2112 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Saw the bassist Taka Hirose with two strange looking basses and Does anyone have any ideas on what they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think they are custom jobs by a Japanese company called Combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 That Thunderbird-alike looks like they had several goes at positioning the strap button before they went for its current position.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Taka used to work for ESP, and i think he made the Ric-Alike and the Big Gretsch alike he plays. I also read that he made himself a 'Jaguar' Bass waaay before Fender did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan2112 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Does anyone else think that the bridge pickup on the reverse thunderbird looks like the pickup from an Ibanez SRX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 If there is an uglier bass than the non reverse thunderbird, I've yet to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
