Disher Rattlesnake

Not bad, very nice case, but that headstock might be one of the worst designs of them all, right up there...down there...with this one.

I don't know, the headstock looks okay to me. I like it better than the body.

 

[96tbird]

Yep, it's ugly.

You made me do this

Does the world need more outsourced Fender ripoffs?

 

[MonetBass]

It seems to me that the maker could have easily drilled the tuner holes to allow the strings more of a straight path from the nut to the tuner.

If that looks like a Fender ripoff to you, it's time for a trip to the optometrist. Unless your comment meant that you felt that this bass is a good thing.

Yeah, maybe it's just the logo... looks like something designed by an eight-year-old boy who never saw a real rattlesnake.
Other than that, the bass reminds me of the Ibanez Talman design that never made it off the drawing board.

That headstock is so bad it takes your attention away from how bad the body is.

It looks like a Mustang with a Mudbucker slapped in there, and the headstock designed to resemble a beak. So I guess it's not a direct ripoff...

That demo...

I could barely tell the difference in the pickups selected.

^^^This^^^ The variation in the string paths is brutal.

 

[Low Main]

I think I'd rather put together a parts Billy Sheehan or Tractor bass.

 

[srayb]

I like it - kind of like a Volvo 240DL. Medium scale: cool. 3 pickups to choose from: cool. And I even like the looks. Maybe no one would steal it... also cool

Why do I dig this?....why?

Oh I don't know…

The pickup types are great. The aesthetics...? Looks like AI designed a bass.

I do kinda like the color.

Fender had almost the same on the '57 Strat reissue a few years back. Mike Keneally played (or still plays) one.

I considered buying the Strat when Mars Music closed & had one on clearance because it was an uncommon Strat color & I really like the black one I had & still have.

Yeah, the color is cool. It could lose the "Join, or Die" cartoon created by Benjamin Franklin in 1754. First off, does that cartoon look like a rattlesnake? Secondly, naming the bass the "rattlesnake" then showing a chopped up rattlesnake... to me, that's confusing brand wise. I read online they are combining history with music ==> "be revolutionary." Seems niche.

I dig the electronics and color options but not sure on some of the esthetics. Nicely priced and that case rocks.
