I hope you will accept it with a smile and without being offended... 🙏
I wonder if the Creator had something to do with Lsd or Psylicibe... 🤡Maybe not even unconsciously...🤡
This guitar is the perfect stimulator to learn to play with your eyes closed...And how can you rest your fingers on the pickups?... 👀
Hey, what company is this, Gr Bass? Can you describe the specification of this set, amplification, loudspeaker?

New here: this is my 2008 Epiphone Les Paul Special.
Not much info about it and not a cool or popular bass, but it feels very good to play with a narrow neck and a nice C shape.
Humbuckers sound good with a little compression, EQ, and bit of natural drive.
Mahogany body and neck, and some kind of rosewood fretboard. Needs new tuners.

I would be afraid that in the most unexpected moment of playing a soul or funk song live... I would start playing the guitar intro to "Sweet Child O'Mine"... 🤡 👀 ;)

I recently bought a bass forca friend of mine. He wanted to learn to play, but he really wanted a bass I could play when I came fir a visit. I asked for his favorite color and bought him a Sterling Ray2; Mist Green. It was $250 plus tax from Sweetwater. It is a passive version of a MusicMan.

I visited him about 2 weeks ago and got to play the bass. I was blown away by the neck. And the setup was amazing. I was playing through a small guitar amp, but the pickup was all Stingray. Best $250 bass on the market.

Here's 3 of my 4 home with me. The 4th is with a friend of mine and is getting a Lusithand NFP installed.

1. Ibanez SR506 strung with Kalium piccolo strings.

2. Squire Affinity PJ with a Hoxey aluminum fretless neck. This is current mod project.

3. MTD Kingston Super 5. My main gigging bass that I can't seem to leave well enough alone. Converted to headless with Nova Guitar Parts hardware, Darkglass Tone Capsule, and have a pair of Turner multicoil pickups arriving this week.

I'm concerned about this Warlock... Is this paddle suitable for lack of subtlety and being treated like an execution ax during death metal sessions? What is the quality of this bass? Can you describe them?😅

So, I have always wanted a Warlock with a Widow headstock...more for the fact that they look cool as heck to me than any playability. I came across the kit on Guitar Kit World's site and ordered it. I got the kit just before Season 4 of Stranger Things landed. Prior to that, I had intended to go all black with chrome hardware on this kit. However, after seeing the final episode of that season, I decided to go with the red and black crackle finish on the body, with a black stain on the neck and headstock. I basically chucked all of the hardware that came with this kit. The only parts I actually used are the body, neck and jack plate. The 1/4lb pickups really do give it an aggressive tone...so definitely suited for metal. Quality wise? Well, the body fit with the neck is really tight. I did have to do some fret work on the neck, which wasn't terrible for a kit. The finish sucks, but that's simply because I suck at doing solid finishes. But oh well. The bass does suffer from some neck dive, which I'm trying to find a way to fix. My current idea for a solution is to take a drill and drill a hole down through the lower horn, out from the electronics cavity, and fill that with ball bearings and secure them in place with epoxy or hot glue. But, not sure if I'm going to do that or not. I have read that most Warlocks suffer from neck dive, so maybe I'll leave it. 🤷‍♂️
