Love it, hate it ....

... or does it just not do anything for you?

The Duesenberg D Bass. If a band were playing at a 50s drive in, the bassist would have to have this bass....

I think it's one of the sweetest looking P-Basses I've ever seen, and it's supposed to sound good and play well to boot. Costs about as much as a MIA Fender P Bass where I live. I'm sorely tempted.

What's your first impression?

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Didn't you already do a thread on this bass?

 

[5string5fingers]

either way...hate it.

 

[barboom]

I need that bass.

 

[EagleMoon]

I like it. Just enough retro to look cool but not over the top.

 

[thumpbass1]

A touch of Art Deco meets 1950's American Populuxe styling. I like it!

 

[5string5fingers]

Body to me looks ilke a bloated p bass and I don't care for the pickguard(s)?

 

[Pablo Fanque]

Looks great. How does it sound?

 

[bassist4dalord]

Hmm... If I were going to play in a 50's drive-in/diner thing, I'd play a '57 RI P-Bass. To each their own!

That doesn't look like a P bass at all. What planet are you from?

It has a split coil in the middle position therefore its a p bass

It's more like a mutt of p bass,stingray,gibson SG and les paul

You have pretty darn good taste Tommy!

 

[stflbn]

Looks like a round version of a reverend.

 

[petch]

I like it. It might look a bit classier without the pickguard.

 

[vinxbass]

Looks like a round version of a reverend.

If anything, that's what it looks like.

 

[Bygde]

It's definately cool, but not my kind of bass. Too little heavy metal for me

 

[Montsegour]

Sorry, no. It looks like a low budget comercial. My taste though.

 

[meRTKendrew]

Remove the oval pickguard around the pickup and then I vote: thumbs up!
