Anyone here likes Flying V basses?

[amimbari]

I love flying V's and own 4 of them.

A Jackson KV-10
A Hamer Slammer
A Davison DGV
A Dean VX

unfortunately........NONE of them are basses

would I ever own a V-BASS? If one comes my way for the right price and quality....sure would.

I like flying V shaped basses but I don't own it. Could you please show pictures of your El Maya? Recently one was sold at E-Bay.

Lol that was the one I just bought

Heres the pic:

Talk about uncomfortabl;e playing standing up for this one. The strap position is in a very odd position and I get major neck dive.

Nice!
I had my eyes on that, Too!
But, I like my arbor V.
Neck through, and neck through mahogany at that. Weight 7 pounds.
Thanks.

Heres the pic:

Congrats on that nice bass! The seller relisted it because previous buyer was an overseas ebay'er (that's why I could not bid either).
Where is it made? How do you like the tone? Any chance for a sound record?

I love my Flying V Basses!

My lower end dean doesnt sound good at all but I love how I play stainding up! I can actually reach all the frets without looking like a knob.

Too bad I dropped it while I was in pissed off at someone...

So far I have 3:

Dean Metalman Flying V (In ER right now)
Dean Razorback V
El Maya RR style Flying V

I plan on buying the Dean Tour V bass and the Kramer "Duke" soon.

I also love Destruction which is why I bought the V in the first place.

Anyone else here loves thier V's??

I had a Duke back in the 80's, would love to have another one. That's my favorite "one that got away".

My singer has a Flying V epiphone bass. He uses it from time to time to record song ideas. Maybe its cause we don't play death metal, and maybe its because the thing is bigger than he is, but every time he puts it on I just die laughing. I really don't want anybody to take that as an insult, but I just don't think everybody can pull that look off. Just like a roller coaster, there should be a height and weight requirement to play that bass.

I like the flying V guitars, but the basses don't do much for me. I saw one today on local CL (SF Bay Area). An Aria Pro Flying V. I've never seen one before, but I've heard good things about Aria Pros.
