Reccomendations on Weirdest/Unique basses

[pklima]

I was recently in Tokyo and briefly played this Atlansia Galaxy at Ikebe: Atlansia GALAXY 5st -Made in Japan- /Used | Reverb Australia

I like the cool design, but otherwise the bass was a bit disappointing. I found the neck clunky and the electronics seemed very "eighties" to me. Imho you can get better and more versatile basses today for the quite hefty second-hand price.

Neat to know, though I still hope to track one down someday... no to hijack the OP's thread too much, but clunky in what sense? I mostly play a fat-necked DB, so for me certain kinds of clunky are very comfy.

why not a wishbass? they're very unique and can get very weird in the best of ways

Why not use your imagination and go wild.I would suggest the build a classic workshop.

The Nordy Acinonyx would get my vote. Looks weird, sound great.

Howdy yall!
Just sold my '05 Ric on the verb and got the itch for something weird.

I've got:
Dingwall NG3
'77 4001 Ric
'62 AVRI Jazz
'11 AMStand Jazz

Been thinking Ovation Magnum I or II, Roland G77, or something else. I have about 2k to drop and a hankering for something not covered by what I have. Are DROCs by Dingwall different than NG3's?

Depends on your technique(s) and genres......for example: if you do a lot of slap style and play a lot of funk, I probably wouldn't get a Magnum

I basically never slap. Predominantly a finger style player, and these days have played Punk, Psych, Rock with occasional dabbling in Prog and Indie. Though I could see my way to wanting to play Funk and Disco

In those cases, I might consider a Magnum.....be forwarned: they iz some heavy bastages

MPC Electra, weird, unique. Great bass!

 

[boombloom]

Another vote for Wishbass. Start with one. You'll be back.

 

[lug]

Tune Banshee but you'll probably never find one.

That brought this bass to mind.

 

[gtirard]

Brooks QB with 12 strings and 2 built in effects (SansAmp type overdrive & Aguilar TLC Compressor)

 

[logdrum]

WishBass but they start of being unplayable. There is a support group here on TB

Or upcycled hockey sticks (I really like to get one)

Bad Dog Bass – electric bass guitar of DaShtick Guitars

 

[Bag of Lazers]
