The Purple One.
Do they make 5 string basses?

 

[seansbrew]

Offbeat has created a really unique sounding instrument. I love the tone, look, weight and playability of mine.

 

[groooooove]

that green is really somethin'!

Yeah. That was my first thought too seeing that.

 

[Watchootognbout]

I like some of the finishes,but the pickguards?No.

 

[HardNHeavy]

those look great!!

 

[monsterthompson]

The Reverb store for them is dangerous. Nice descriptions, pics, and videos (also on YT). Multiple short scale options. Very nice.

 

[NobodyImportant]

That’s a whole lotta knots.

Wood swirl on the orange in perfect

Someday, I may have a long scale with a NP4A pickup.

That would be a good day.

No thanks after listening to the company’s owner’s rants.
Trust me when I say you should look into them before buying.

I'm way into off beat basses (but not the builder Offbeat), I have 12 of one bass uke model that fits me best, modified to not look like the other.

Scott, where can I find such info, please? You can PM me if you prefer.

I don’t think I can; I want to be safe and not violate Talkbass policy… especially since it’s a sensitive Talkbass subject.

Sorry.

I searched for a little while and couldn't find anything about the owner, so I guess this is a non-story

I'm curious as well. Was it something hateful/immoral ?

Yes against a group.
It was enough for me to type something in this thread, and I am very un-opinionated and not one to speak up about stuff like this. AND red headed with thick skin.
So bass on everyone, I’m out.

The above is unfortunate because those are pretty neat looking basses, especially the models with 2 split coils...

 

[WG Plum]

I can't find anything either, but the unboxing videos are kind of silly.
