Why not? They make a flying V violin (called "the Viper"):I wonder if there's such a thing as a 'Bird shaped (more or less) upright. Probably not, but it sure would make for an outrageous instrument.

Ok, my ‘Bird played its first show with me tonight. I can’t even begin to say how happy I am with it. The band absolutely loved the sound. It really was massive. Basking in the afterglow![]()
Yessir, that's a FINE lookin' 'bird ya got thereLet's get this thread back on topic. My Vintage Pro arrived late last week but just found some time for pics...View attachment 2841365
I did that. The scale said "One at a time, please." I think it was just being mean.Even a bathroom scale should get you within 1/2 lbs. if you weigh yourself with the bass and without the bass and do a bit of cyphering.
I have a hard time believing that there could be that much variation in weight from the sub 8 lbs. we’ve heard and your near 10 lbs. VP.
Have you weighed it yourself? Curious minds want to know.
I googled her. It seems she has several birds. So it os true that flocks multiply.Love the DollyRots. I discovered them by listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage. I listen to them with my daughter; part of her musical education. I had no idea that Kelly plays a `bird.

Kelly Ogden on her gear:
"I play a Gibson Thunderbird bass through a Mesa Boogie 400 head and 2x15 cabinet that I bought 8 years ago when I switched from guitar to bass. I also use a MXR Bass DI that really boosts my tone and has a nice distortion option too.
My favorite live mic is a Shure Beta 58.
That's pretty much it. I play rock n roll so... it's not too complicated. Although some people find a way to do it!"
Cool. First time I've heard of her or her band.
We do our best.My Bird got its first gig last night and while it was a real eye opener, it didn’t look nearly as cool as this pic, I’m thinking![]()
Yes, please!Very nice, it seems we have the same (good) taste in basses Sir, shall I add you to our club?
