In Soviet Russia, bass plays YOU

Yup! The coolest gig I've ever played!! Were you on board?

Cheers!

I wish I was. I really wanted to go but wedding funds took priority. The band listing this year was really hot. Even better than Prog Power in Atlanta.

My Krappy has normal construction, materials and shape, but it is a unique mix of ascetic minimalism and indulgent excess.

Here's somebody else playing it.

And here's how to play it correctly.

That is sick, although you could probably just combine all the strings to make a six string lol, jk, love it

Anyone in L.A. have access to an x-ray machine?

*head explodes from shear awesomeness* This is one amazing bass, i dont even care if it's only 2 strings (if it isn't, then i'm seeing the picture wrong)

 

[dakpluto]

It's only 2. The really cool part is where the string actually touches the fret stays in scale, even with the crazy angles.

Yeah, it takes some amazing skill

I don't quite understand why, but I am in love with these old Ural basses. I'd take this one in a heartbeat.

Here's an example of one in action. Not bad for an old Cold War bass made behind the Iron Curtain.

Here is my weirdest bass. A Westone " The Rail" bass i picked up for $100. Its surprisingly gig worthy!

Boy, that is one FUGLY BC Rich Ironbird ripoff... I'd be surprised to see an actual original design from esp.

Cheers!

The ESP Japan artist models are nice and strange. They are very "open minded" when it comes to guitar styles instead of people who think a super style jazz is pushing the limit.

Thanks
