Does this bug anyone else?

I’m not sure what’s worse, the crooked hole or people who think it was intentionally done.

Oops, sorry, we were all drunk on the assembly line that Friday. Same thing with the QA department.

I wasn't really referring to Stu Hamm with that. I was referring to a series on the internet about failed tattoos, and one of them had "No Regerts" spelled like that across someone's arm.

No doubt. And with that one Stu Hamm was a) unoriginal and b) not funny. What a dork.

 

[groooooove]

could very well still be a nice bass.


definitely shouldn't happen though....

Although sloppy word and weird (to be a request I mean) if you can look past it and it sounds and plays well as well as good price then it still may be worth it.

I'd expect bodies with holes drilled that close together in a perfectly straight line to be more prone to wood cracks.

Oh, I know... but Hamm's decision to try and draw attention to himself with such a tattoo is a weak move... especially from a "creative artist." Just another prime example of the "Hey, look at me“ world we live in today.

Oh my gods... it's on Stu Hamm's arm. I had no idea. <facepalm>

Hey, look at it like this, it's a custom hand made bass with the builders special touch!!

I'm looking at a bass (best offer), and the pics look beautiful, until...

I lost interest.

I figure if the Luthier can't line up string holes in a straight line, who knows what else lurks under the facade. Plus it triggers my OCD. Next!

Or am I being hypercritical?

I’m thinkin’ It would bug the snot out of be too. That is unless there was some all fire good reason they did it that way...

 

[Erokker]

Allergies. Clearly a sneeze at the drill press.

 

[electrichead]

I'm still waiting for OP to say what make/model of bass this is on. Are all others like this one?

 

[Watchootognbout]

No.No.
It has to be a mistake.
No one would install something crooked on purpose.

The ferules are placed in a patteren similar to the saddle intonation pattern.
