i wanna see some pics of a lobe because i havent seen that many because wish doesnt have it on his website
some facts about a peanut.
The reason I choose that model are based on
1)taste, it's not ordinairy but not extreme
2)not to big body, I didn't want a heavy bass
3)ergonomics
IMO there's only one disadvantage about that model. Because of light weight and small body it's a bit of a nosediver. Adjusting strapbuttonposition to counterweight that issue is needed.

If you head to my website, you'll find 8 Lobes in total, 9 if you consider the JD Lobe! These range from the older styling (#804) to the styling that Steve is doing today (#1224).
Regarding ergonomics, the Arrow and Lobe body styles have the strap button the highest up of all the styles (with the possible exception of the Hipper), and the Arrow and Lobe hang on the strap (standing) in a perfect neck-rising angle with absolutely no neck dive. I went that way for the neck bracing (turned out that was not an issue even with the deeper double cutaways with Wish's huge necks), but the complete absence of neck dive was a lovely, unexpected, and VERY welcome bonus.
Here's my avator Lobe, which I sold recently, BTW ...
Here's what it looked like when purchased - it looks more amber colored here because of the flash and lighting actually ...
nice basses thunderritter is that blue ritter really a ritter because on another thread they said it was a wish i had a ritter
bass rocks said:
What thread is that?
BTW - don't tell anyone but it is 100% not a wish I had a Ritter!
i dont remmember but you posted a pic of a lobe and that ritter and someone thought that the blue ritter was wish and that it looked like a ritter and you said sarcasticly yeah but i dont know what that is above it(a wish lobe) and then someone else said yeah its covering the pic of your wish i had a ritter
Had an idea ... If any of you guys are into Facebook, it might be fun to hook up there too. I have a bunch of photos there detailing some of my refins (kind of a poor man's web presence) if anyone wants to stop in. I am also starting a separate page there for my Wishy work called "Scott's Shoppe". PM me if you want to make a "Friend Request" and we can go from there. I'm also hoping to do a shop tour with my new video camera 'soon' and perhaps YouTube that, as well as link it on FB.
Indeed we are! I meant to say "hooked up" - oooops ...
On another topic; I look thru Ebay every once in a while for bass guitar finger/fretboards and usually don't turn up much. A couple of weeks ago a fellow was selling two Pau Ferro bass guitar fret boards he purchased from LMI. Apparently he used to build basses but was giving it up. These 2 boards are untouched by him but each was ordered with a 12" radius and pre-slotted for 34" scale. As such, if you were to order the same boards today from LMI it would cost over $60 with shipping. I got them both for $25, shipped to my door - sweet! They are attractive and very, very nice. Not sure what I am going to put them on yet, but it will be fun figuring it out. They will made great fretted or lined fretless boards since they have no side dot positions drilled yet.
i have decided to get a wish but not get it lined which was the origiginal idea im just gonna learn unlined frettless um has wish solved the side marker problem or was just that the bridge got moved a little PS if not i might get the front part of a warwick bridge what do you all think
PPS hey 49 why are you not replying my pm's or emails
PPS hey 49 why are you not replying my pm's or emails
thunder ritter thats the pic its been awhile since i saw that pic i thought for sure it was blue but dont know why
My side dots are pretty spot on. I was nervous about going unlined at first, but the dots and my ears made it much easier
than I thought.
than I thought.
