Krappy Guitars' Twiggy VB

Kevin @ Krappy knocked this out for me using a set of leftover Schaller-style bass tuners, an standard bridge, D'Addario Chrome Flats, and a heavy-duty music stand. Now before the curmugeons start in on how it's not a DB, I have to say that it cost me all of $275! If you factor in the parts that I sent Kevin, then we're still only talking $350! I'm primarily a BG player, but this gets my foot in the door. Fretless and vertical are about all I want to tackle right now. And I have to say, with a bit of foam wrapped around the strings at the bridge, it's very close to the sound of my old Ashbory, without the tuning and intonation problems. Just thought I'd spread the word about this product, which might be of particular interest to those who are considering a Barker Bass at 10X the cost.
