Has anyone ever played one of these basses? http://aquilinabasses.free.fr/ 
Just Curious what others think about them... they look nice, have great inspiration (i.e. Fodera, Nordstrand, F Bass...). Wonder what they sound like.  |

The F-bass and NOrd-looking ones are my favorites. |

Peace,
JP | Actually it looks more like the Zon/Manring Hyperbass that Wish likes to copy so much. For this to resemble a Wish it would need a tin can hand cut cover plate, a 75% reduction in knobs (and cheaper ones at that), MANY fewer hours of consideration of neck/body wood combinations and a bit more wood (like what it would take about 4 hours to sand off with some >150 grit sandpaper)

At least that's what it says under his name

They have to appear stateside for me to check them out. Haven't been to Europe in a few years.
There are still far more basses I have played than haven't. |
