It's not for everyone. But if you can handle it, great tones are your reward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_RkLvbkOZo

Like it! Pity it's $145,= but I do like it!

The traditional bridge actually does a great job on this bass. But I have no problem fitting a better looking bridge, it's made to order so no problem!

Thanks Jumbosilverette! The design has been flamed over and over here on TB. And actually some people see something nice in it. Love it or hate it, I guess. I haven't counted but it seems most people hate it. On the Dutch forum it's almost the same, though it seems it's the other way...

I didn't know you guys had such a great sense of humour! :p

Added some live-pics to the site today. This is the Dutch band Ska3 performing:

It's a V-V-T configuration with a series/parallel-switch. So just switching to parallel and putting one volume down gives the same effect as a coil tap I suppose.

Like I said, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. The topicstarter wanted opinions. So go ahead. I'll go back to lurking mode. Just wanted to share this pic today.

Well, why dont you go ahead and design and build something totally new by your own? Meanwhile, I'd like to share this pic: Link Removed The Faber Laboratories are working hard to bring you the Faber DiscoPaddle!

@ Mike thank you! That's exactly to the point (in my view anyway). Shot a new pic today wit a different controlplate. More pics will follow as soon the new basses are ready...

It's not for everyone. It's weird. But it's good. It has a real attitude, both in looks and sound. The design gets better when you see people play it. I'll post some pics and probably some video in a few weeks. Edit: It's a pity the Euro is so expensive. It's only 850 euro's but the USD is only...

A little quiet here... On the dutch "basgitaarforum" there's quite a hassle about it :smug: In fact, some guys didn't understand that is is not a custom-shop-exotic-woods-fender-lookalike. It's just a different concept. People are eager to attack anything they don't understand, I'm happy...

Actually I'd like to say something about the headstock. I know, it looks like I mutilated a Fender-type headstock. And it's true! It's a functional mutilation, though. Just 1 inch less hassle in crowded places and small clubs. But more than that, it's a statement. It says "I don't want to be...

Haha thanks, it doesn't hurt mine either. Live and let live. I love what I do and I hope you love what you do. I guess we're total opposites in taste. Thumbsup!
