Postal Basses

[db59]

Hello everyone,

Has anybody played any these basses? Definitely different looking , and I'm
sure not everyone likes. The videos for them leave a lot to be desired. It's hard to
tell the tone/sound ..at least for me. If anybody owns one, I'd like your opinion.

Don't like them... gimmicky steam-punk designed instruments that just don't look comfortable to play.

Steampunk. I see.

I'd try one, but buy? Wake me when you offer a steampunk J. Check out the rear pup on the bridge.

Love the guitars. The only bass I see is okay. Reminds me of Bigsby guitars.

Not for me, these.

I recently saw a steampunk builder whose work I find to be more inspired. Hafta look for him.

Here's his "Smashmouth" J bass. It seems to me more atomicpunk than steam, but still interesting.

I like them. Not over-the-top like some steampunk builders who insert conduits which serve no purpose or non-functional gauges just for the aesthetic.

i like all of them, as in "they're fun(ny) looking." they all look heavy but i guess that's the point. i wonder if they actually weigh a lot.

"But my back... !" Talk about acting your age.

This one looks a bit interesting.
