Does anybody know anything about this Bass guitar?sound? MIKE FLORES PLAYS THE BLACKHART LUNAR 5 BASS..I got a picture of one on this post a guy just got and the fin is not near as long as the one in this picture, the pic i have here the Bass is at a major angle makes that fin look way too long.

I'd like to see a smaller fellow playing it strapped up high as possible:roflmao:

Or put the strap button at the top of the back of the fin, and get a really tall fellow to strap it on down low. :)

I think it needs a fiberglass pole with a reflective warning flag on it like recumbent bicyclists use....
 
Needs a tremolo, don't it? :) (FWIW, looking at the hipshot tremolo - not too surprisingly, looks like it uses the same saddles as the A style - meaning you might be able to get it piezo-loaded. That would sound interesting, perhaps...
 
Never heard of the company. If I had to guess I'd say they're probably made in the Cort factory. They look solid to me and the prices are about right. That Kronos 5NT pictured looks interesting. Wouldn't mind trying it out.
I bet that long fin keeps the neck from diving. I like exotic different looking Basses I think this thing looks pretty cool, I just wish I could find out more about it like the sound, playability,and feel of it. I can't find anything about it on UTUBE, test's or demo's, nothing..
 
Looks kinda like a Warwick Buzzard. I dig it.
I know really, I was about to say that, John Entwisle most of the time had some really different looking Bass guitars. He loved his Buzzard I bet he would have been checking this one out.I think it looks frickin awesome, I would be putting 2 ACTIVE EMG 40DC HUMBUCKERS in that baby, you know what if that Bass balances good with no neck dive I am going to save some $$ and get one and do just that....

Now that you mention it, yeah. I'll take a buzzard over this, but if my Warlock needs company, this would be a good match for that! Just need to find the right band!
 
I found a Mike Flores video on Youtube with his band, really bad recording, I couldn't watch it very long, couldn't hear the bass at all. He's not playing this bass in it though.
