Solar Guitars annouces first bass lineup

[M0ses]

I can't stand reverse headstocks. That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. These could look classy with the right 2+2.

Not super impressed with these models, but knowing how their guitar line has continued to evolve and continually offer new products, I'm hopeful for future bass models and variations.

Not really my thing.....but possible entry for BB4M.

At first glance they reminded me of a Smith with a double bevel, fierce tan, mohawk and a tramp stamp.

I’m old and have very boring taste...it’s also easy to sit back and judge someone else’s work when I haven’t done any...so.

 

[EMoneySC2]

Cool to see Ola jumping into bass territory! These aren't too enticing to me, but I hope they do well.

 

[VolverseLoco]

WoW. Just spent the last hour or so checking out specs on all their guitars.. some awesome stuff and decent prices (it seems, as I haven't played any). But wow.

They NEEED more Bass options (or at least colors). Why does every bass have to be brown? Especially when they make so many different (and many bold) guitar flavors.


T$

And I thought I was the only one who noticed that and thought that. What is it with such a limited bad color, or should I say lack of color for these guys, ESP too, for bass guitars. Horrible.

I cant stand regular headstocks. Give me a reverse Jackson or reverse old ESP banana or Kramer anyday.

But upon taking a 2nd look at these reverse headstocks they have, I think they kind of did the pointy headstock injustice with that design, I dont like it..bring back the reverse banana!

TalkBass. Tough crowd.

 

[steelbed45]

They seem to have that "modern metal" look. The YT video gave me a laugh by making the presentation song 100% about the guitar.

Other posters stated they thought of ESP and Schecter. My first thought was manscaped 3.0 and ___ lotion.

 

[InternetAlias]

Its 2020, if it isn't headless and lightweight, not considering it.

 

[bbh]

If it weren’t for the jumbo frets, I’d buy 1 just to check it out. Since I like more of a mandolin type fret , unfortunately this one’s not for me. Too bad as I really like the body.

 

[bbh]

Interesting. Prices seem fair. I cant find the string spacing on that 5er. Looks nice and narrow though.
Snip

That’s funny. They give every spec you’d ever need to see except spacing. Perhaps someone should drop them a message.

 

[RexxRokket]

Another modern-looking bass that sounds like an Ibanez.

 

[Jazz Ad]

It looks like a bass from 20 years ago.

 

[Vinny_G]

It looks like a bass from 20 years ago.

It's still less than the new Fender line.

 

[MDH bass]

for some reason i was expecting multi-scale

 

[MDH bass]

why are they priced so ridiculously ? own brand hardware and electronics, very simple construction/finishes/design, nothing special on the woods or anything...

am i missing something ?

 

[Hypocrite]

No multiscale, no mid knob, no six string?
No sale.

 

[dbsfgyd1]

Looks cool!

At age 68, me playing one of these Basses visually would look as ridiculous as me wearing skinny jeans. Sigh.....

TalkBass. Tough crowd.

So true
