    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    Something I forgot to mention in the first post: the production will be limited not to 100 but to 200 basses. This means that will be possible, through a british music store, to buy this bass, limited to 100 + "number of pledgers that back out" units

    ghostdog93, it was hdracer who spoke of custom builders in the first place. I don't think you can compare things, and I was just answering him. cybersnyder, Of course we consider backing out bad too. However, as Chapman Guitars created this project they are aware of that risk. I see it as an...

    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    Tell me a custom builder that will get my input on a bass for 500£ and I'll run for him. I guess it's all about mentality. It seems that across the Atlantic this kind of concept doesn't work very well. If you go to the forums you'll see plenty of people looking forward to do this and work in...

    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    Sorry, I can't understand where the two things I said are different. First one - Finding 100 people to vote. In the end, these people pay (if they like, as said in "However, if you don't like the result, you can quit and you won't pay a thing."). Second one - You vote. In the end, you pay, if...

    Come on, is everyone doing it on purpose or just not reading? No one is paying to vote. You vote, and, if you like, you pay. The only difference is that you pay before you get your bass, so they can start manufacturing.

    Johnston explained it much better than I did, thank you.

    I don't know which other thread you're speaking of, but there's no deposit refunded. If you like the bass, you pay your deposit, only in the end of the voting.

    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    aaronhutson and LB75Player, Lots of people became confused about the pledge system, which Rob explains in the video I posted. However, I can try to explain it better: 1 - You pledge 50£ (by pledging, it's meant writing down on a forum "I pledge 50£ on a MLB-1") 2 - You vote for the specs on...

    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    First, the cash is not given in the beggining, this pledge will only be paid in the end of the voting. Second, I had only in mind what I've discovered in this forum and I was interested in giving others the opportunity to discover new things. Quite frankly, it will get to 100 people with or...

    Chapman Guitars Bass -Open for pledging, 20 places left

    Hope now it is read the way I wanted people to read it. Its just giving an idea to anyone interested in a bass designed in a different way, and as I've found here many opportunities (including one that is on my side, an MTD Artist bought thanks to a post here) I was trying to also give other...

    Hi, Surely you know Rob Chappers, guitarist from Monkey Lord with a huge channel on Youtube. He has his own guitar brand, Chapman Guitars, and they collaboratively designed with the youtube community 3 guitars: ML-1, ML-2 and Ghost Fret. Guess what? They're know designing MLB-1, the first...

    Pick your Poison

    I would go with the SR5, pretty versatile, 5 string, nice looks (and a good impression can always be nice). But, after all, had I any choices, I would always go with MY bass, the one that I like the most and play the most, but I don't know if that applies.

    Warwick Sweet 25.2 - (Serious) sound problem

    BassmanPaul and jjk2007, I'm trying to solve it because I bought it online from a German store, and I live in Portugal, so it would take some time and may be problematic. Electricblue, the amp is pretty solid and difficult to hit, I don't think I can make any difference. About the dry joint...

    Warwick Sweet 25.2 - (Serious) sound problem

    Hi, I got my Warwick Sweet 25.2 for Christmas, and it always worked well. Since 2 days ago, it started do make a very strange sound, and I connected it to 2 different basses and using 3-4 different cables, and it remains. It is difficult do describe, but it sounds like a buzz, only when I...

    Direct recording?

    It still doesn't work, I guess the best will be to try to connect it by USB
