Did you build it? I actually like it way more than any WB I've seen yet.

The Riverhead bass reminded me of Burns Flyte.
Not mine.

Yeah, I had a Wishbass of this shape, I really liked the shape, but it was just too ungainly for me so I built this one using a Carvin neck-thru blank in the same shape. Added a scroll to the top of the headstock, too.Did you build it? I actually like it way more than any WB I've seen yet.
Good grief, you're right!
Here's a bass I tried not too long ago, actually sounds pretty good- not really an odd-ball bass compared to a lot of the basses on here but odd enough, easily available and affordable.
Italia Imola.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Dragonetti Five String.
Love the look of those Dragonettis!
If it were relic'd (I know, blasphemy!) it would look like a hundred-year old orchestra instrument.

Hmmm, copyright lawsuit bait, perhaps? That's an Ampeg scroll bass copy (almost). But nice...
Here's an old Greco from the sixties that I have. The neck is pretty much shot though.
Fret board is separating and truss nut is stripped. Could be repaired I guess.

My friend made this bas years ago-originally it had 4 strings, but over the years they broke & were not replaced--I later "inherited" it as he was going to throw it out.
I added a machine head and one string.
I was going to add a second, but it was a lot of fun as a one string fretless bass.

Here's my former AXB1000... a really fantastic bass... now belongs to another
I keep looking for one of those. There's one here in Vegas, but it's in trashed condition and they want $1000 for it (Ed Roman Guitars).

"Vibracell" sounds like something from comic books, like "Vibranium".
What's up with the 3 indentations above the pickups?
