Reverb thinks THIS is a listing I would like?!?

[tb-player]

This is a recommended listing in the "New Listings You Might Like" section of Reverb. I am unfamiliar with Wishbass... not sure how I feel about this.

Wishbass - 32” Fretless with Bill Lawrence P46 and Q-tone stacked vol/tone | Reverb

I’m not joking when I say that looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable. Like watching spider documentaries uncomfortable.

I've been seeing that guy's work since the early 2000s and it's not getting any better.

I think that popularity concerns me even more… lol

My thoughts exactly. When you don't put in the time or effort to learn or get better, you can end up in the same place for a very long time.

The fact that Reverb thinks you would be interested is either based on keywords, or you have no taste. You decide which.

The pic of one of the body wings separating, is comical.

 

[Ostie]

So you set the intonation by moving the fixed bridge back and forth until it’s….sorta close?

Oh. At that angle, I assumed it was a fanned-fretless.

 

[Philonius]

Right. The pup is angled too... Maybe it's a hybrid.

I don't think it's separating - I don't think the wing gluing surface was ever flat; the glue joint was like that from the start. The guy just does sloppy work, which justifies his cheap prices. Or something like that.

But it's neck-through!

 

[darwin-bass]

Ah, it's nothing to fret about.

Ah, it's nothing to fret about.

If you’re too lazy to do all the other parts of building well, omitting the time consuming work of putting in frets is just par for the course.

 

[Chrisk-K]

The body looks like a terminally sck goldfish.

 

[ShadowGroover]

It's a wish bass. Once you have one you'll wish you didn't.

 

[Flatwound]

Price is about $449 too high.

 

[Marc DLarosa]

Weirdly... it looks... to me... like... a... ROCK?

 

[Super Bass]

How long have you been playing?

 

[Bluzeman90]

This makes me think I could build instruments and someone would pay me for them. I mean, it can't be hard to surpass this, right? And someone paid for this... So therefore if I'm somehow marginally better, someone would pay me for doing this... Lots to consider, or not
