Umm.... spending the three seconds to type 'fishbone bass' into my web browser brought up their site

Looks a little like a mix of a Warwick/Carl Thompson/Ibanez/Tobias. Not my thing but interesting to say the least. Good luck w/ your search

Yeah there seems to be a lot of info on them that was readily available in just a few seconds.

He's been to their web site, he mentioned that he thinks it's sweet. He's looking for people's impressions of the company, to know if the instruments are well regarded.

Sorry... didn't see that.. the site looked pretty OK to me.

PS I see what you mean on the site.. most of the tabs don't work. There is an email address and contact phone number at the bottom of the home page though... that would probably be the best bet.

yeh, i msg'd them but i haven't got a reply yet, i just wanted to know if anyone had played one or know's anything about them.

Probably not. Sorry.

Call them. Email is unreliable in this industry.

One of (several) the most gifted players around the STL area plays one. WONDERFUL BASS! These basses look very time intensive, the bridge is even a proprietary, patented design, and is like nothing I've ever seen before. I don't know what the deal is, but when have the ability to conact the maker I will contact them, naturally, as I am going to be making some of my own and wuld love to stir up some ideas and comraderie. THE MARKET? There are a couple of luthier schools around here that encourage some very impressive ideas, work, and hungry players as I've seen lately among relatively well-employed bass players/ luthiers. We're on the river so all of the good wood floats right in! I'll see what is up with Fishbone. Everytime I've touched the bass, I've been blown away!
It is NICE to see a little buzz about these fine basses!
I'll check it out.
Stay hungry, TB.
love.

says they are using Seymour Duncan Basslines for their stock pick-up

site is new probably explains why some of the tabs won't work as of yet keep us posted if you get any info (that pic is sexy!)

yeh i checked out seymour duncan but that didn't narrow the sound down, basslines have quite a few pickups from rick's to music man to jazz etc. i also couldn't find any audio sample's in the web site (for bass anyway)
