Firefox Bass from Ark Instruments

Dude, you need a web site, not just facebook.

Yep. I refuse to have anything to do with Spacechook.

Is there a website for this company? I’m not on the FB.

Looks very nice. The lines flow extremely well. Is it a piezo thing or are there magnetic pups hidden under that rectangle area?

I'm wondering about the pickups myself. I'm curious about the scale length too - looks like it may be multiscale. Maybe the builder, Talkbass member fyrwyr, will weigh in today and give us some more details about the bass. By the way, I believe these are manufactured in Canada, but I could be wrong.

That is a video game controller, right?
I think I saw one in a holster at Dave & Buster's arcade.

Looks pretty rad, like a fighter jet.

I know, right? It's one of the few designs I've seen that strays far from the usual that I really like!

I'd put in on my wall, but as an old fat guy, I'd never play it out.

Hey....I'm an old fat guy and I'd ROCK that beach!

Is there a freaking website or not??

 

[vegas532]

Am I the only one getting a Kubicki vibe from this?

 

[Slade N]

Not sure it would have been possible - BMW makes ugly-AF cars with a scant few exceptions. The Bongo is a cool design if polarizing. This one is about on par with that, so, actually, maybe they could have? I like it, but again, polarizing. Maybe just a touch 80s-feeling because it screams 'futuristic'.

i think it screams 80s

+1

If they want to sell instruments, they need to make it waaaay easier. It's very cool looking, but it would be nice to be able to go somewhere to see the specs.

I volunteer to be a hardware version of a "beta tester."

 

[Ubersheist]

Does it have warp drive?

Warp DIVE. Worse than neck dive. So much worse.

 

[Gaolee]

Reverse it like a Thunderbird or Explorer and I would be suffering from horrific GAS. It looks great even as-is.

 

[fyrwyr]

I think it looks really quite good!
Do they make headed basses too?

Yes, I do all kinds of basses but am leaning more towards my extended range headless designs lately since they are even more unique and help me stand out in the sea of exotic basses..

My website is unfinished and hopefully this weekend I can do more work on it..

Bill, do you offer a fretted version of the Firefox bass?

Yes, they are more common but in the renders I think fretlesses look nicer

 

[fyrwyr]

Anyone have a link to the website?

My site is currently in the works, hope to make more progress on it this weekend but for now I use this page:
