Pointy basses?

[Dale_M]

Are there any companies who make a sharp V bass (like a Dean VMNT/Jackson King V), other than Dean?

'Cause I've been GASing for one of the guitars and I'd love to have a bass of one!

BC Rich - never played one but they look killer and for a good price - i think Traben makes one aswell

edit- didnt realize u wanted a V bass i thought u just used that as an example of a pointy bass

 

[Dale_M]

BC Rich doesn't make a V bass. lol
EDIT: Nor does Traben.

by the way, why not dean?

 

[Dale_M]

I've heard bad experiences about them that make me not want their basses...

 

[tom once dead]

yeah. I've got one of the Friday basses.

The only real problem is the pickups, sound like Sh*t.

then again. You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

The problem I heard was with an Edge Pro 5... They didn't dry the wood long enough and the frets started popping out.
And I've also heard that they use tiny frets and have horrible fretwork..

 

[tom once dead]

yeah, they have bad frets.

I once saw an offset V bass on ebay. It was made by LaMoya. It looked pretty nice and was equiped with EMG pick ups, but I have never heard of that brand.

Didn't see a single pointy in there.
I've seen that thread before, I talk to McSpunckle often over MSN...

Moser custom shop?

I don't have the money (nor patience ) for one.
Would he be able to do a King V bass?

 

[The Metal Guy]

Probably, I dunno what that is, but probably.
