[ctmullins]

Wow! Very nice. Somehow it’s more Lemmy than Lemmy!

I was expecting this thread to be 4 weeks of complaining...

It is a callback to the B.C. Rich "Bich",* from which** @francy bernal took inspiration for her instruments.
The 10-string model in particular was an interesting concept, and it is exciting to see it recreated in bass form.

* [itself an entirely obvious reference to the phrase "rich b*tch"]
** [this, instead, is me riffing on the same motiv - only, a little more innocently (basest form of humour or not, I enjoy wordplay per se more than as a vehicle for double entendres)]

That makes sense to me. Also, I fully agree about wordplay.

 

[francy bernal]

NICE! it is "perreo"but sanding the wood hahaaha

 

[Isaac_James]

Lovely, it's certainly reminiscent of Lemmy's signature Rick while also being its own thing. Four pickups is wild - Does each have its own dedicated volume control, and then a master tone control for the fifth knob?

 

[SulzerType2]

a 4,1cm nut for paste this stuff together withoug "plastiline effects"

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[BassyBill]

Interesting looking instruments- thanks very much for posting the pictures.
