It is me and that is my custom Angel Bass made by MAD Crusher Custom Basses. He has only made a few Basses but if your interested I could get you his contact info.

Sometimes you can come across one of these for only a few hundred. I bet it would hold you and its much cheaper than an Alcoa, or having one made. Invalid Link Removed hopes this helps a bit

Just place a few thick posts of metal inside and it gets rid of the feed back, and it sounds good. The "Angel" has a custom K&K pickup system inside, it sounds a lot better than one would think. I get compliments on its tone often, and it sounds distinctive. It still sounds like a mix between an...

Not sure if this helps but I have had really good luck with a Carbon Graphite fingerboard. It has not rutted in the least in the last few years. When your fingerboard finally gives out you may want to consider this option . Invalid Link Removed did mine, but both parts that were ordered for...

230lb? In high-school I was light like 140-150ish and overtime (years we are talking) made some soft spots and other damage in various plywood Basses. You can do it, but 230 is pushing it. Once I broke 160lb and Gigs became a constaint I had this build to stand up to the abuse. For years I have...

My Crusher Custom Aluminum Bass "Angel" model #002 is worth a peak I think.

Thank you, It is a MAD Crusher Custom, bass. I drew it up, and Crusher made my sketch into something tangible.

I might be able to cut the neck off and use it.

If you are interested in using the Aluminum stand up i can give you some insight. I am an Aluminum and wood player. Acoustic the aluminum is nothing to write home about, however place a good pickup system inside with any hunk of metal to deaden the sound a bit (like an extra support post) you...

Do the alcoa basses have an aluminum neck aswell, I know the neck is wood on the old german ones. oddly i am in search of an Aluminum neck, or any other alternitive that will never warp

You may not feel this is what is representative. But to date I have fallen through two Shens. I have a 68' Selmer Aristocrat that has withstood all abuse without serious damage. And my carved (purchased for orchestral play) has yet to give me an issue when stood on. Just speaking from my...

It was no grammor error. My carved (owned since i was 8) has held up to my abuse just fine. What I meant in reguards to dammage is that the worst you will see (or should see) Is some scratching or flat wood on the bottom of the bass from prolonged pressure. A plywood you will see some soft...

I was once in a bad spot when my fender Jaguar had an electrical issue mid-gig. The opening band was nice enough to lend me their SR-500. Play was good, and the sound was not too shabby either. It was not the best thing i have ever played, but it is one ruggid little thing. A great starter bass...

As a street performer I have stood wooden basses for about 8 years now. If you weigh less that 150 lb, the dammage will be minimal, provided the bass is not plywood, But i have a Better option. I play a MAD Crusher bass. Can't break it, just not possible, I have tried. Below is me and the...
