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

Classic Wish styling there, nice piece of wood.

 

[JohnnyChatter]

I wish I hadn’t seen that bass.

Not my thing but there is a bass out there for everyone I guess… maybe it plays really well.

 

[Beej]

What I can't understand is how so many people with 10 year old join dates are new to TB?

 

[Discount Bassy]

If I hold my phone at arm's length and squint a bit with my glasses off, it looks pretty good and could definitely be accidentally mistaken for a nice bass.

Lol

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

Yep a lot of what I see in the pics looks like experimentation or learning?

 

[Thegreatzambini]

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

I couldn’t agree more. It almost looks like a claymation version of a bass.

At a minimum, the way those 2 middle strings are wound makes me uncomfortable. I’d have to play it first, but I still wouldn’t spend that for it.

I could find a really decent bass for $530 shipped.

At that budget a Sterling Musicman new is within reach, as are a bunch of other instruments.

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

It’s a bass. That’s probably all the commonality Reverb needs.

 

[Fender_Bender]

Oof, he really doesn’t seem to have improved over all of this time. I think you don’t even get a truss rod unless he’s changed that.

 

[SkylineFiver]

He must live near the beach.

 

[mcrawfordmusic]

I kind of dig it though...

 

[5StringBlues]

too bad they took down the vid of him demoing one of his fretlesses awhile back. nobody can make a bass sound like a cow mooing like wish!

this?

 

[5StringBlues]

Not sure if it's the exact 1, but that's certainly.......... something.

this?

 

[DJ Bebop]

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

That could be said about Fender in the option of some.

 

[DJ Bebop]

this?

"I like it!"

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.

It's unfair to call it lazy when he's charging the low hundreds for fully custom basses.

When somebody wants a fully custom bass and isn't willing to spend four-digit sums for one, this is the level of work they should be expecting.

Fun fact: Wish is in Winston-Salem, and Roscoe is in the city next door, Greensboro.
