Wishnevsky!!!!!!

[luisnovelo]

I had already seen that one..

Does this man (or whatever he/she is) Knows the meaning of Intonation???

 

[Munjibunga]

Excellent looking bridge, too!

 

[Philbiker]

He even calls this "one of the prettiest basses I've ever made."
God, I hope nobody's posted this here before. I haven't seen it atleast.

I hadn't seen it either. What a disaster. That bridge - is he for real? Does he have any idea about what the instrument is or how it works?

 

[FretNoMore]

Jeez. How much extra effort could it take to make a useable instrument? Why go though all the trouble of building when it so obviously lacks in function? At least make the effort to install a working bridge for goodness sake. I have no problem with 'art', but if you call it a 'bass' it should at least be playable. I wonder how he calculated where to put the side dots with that bridge...

 

[Richard Lindsey]

I was sorta sticking up for the guy a little, but I can't defend that.

 

[xush]

from what I understand, the bridge isn't glued down, so maybe you're supposed to futz w/ it yerself? Wasn't there one where it overlapped the control plate a bit? Maybe so you could get a nice sitary buzz/drone?

Looks like maybe he was 'going' for symmetry w/ the p'up and fingerboard end, but didn't quite get there.

The guy doesn't back down from a close-up shot, he's got guts! or something...

The neck has "stingers of ... Locust". I wonder if it has Eye of Newt, as well?

Ladies and Warriors....the Bhatlith (sp?) bass.

 

[osciphex]

does anyone else get the feeling that there are velvet elvises and really deep shag carpet in mr. wishnevsky's woodshop? and you know, those bobbing flamingos that used to be considered groovy in the 70's?

Yeah, but what worries me is the fact that, like said velvet Elvi, flamingos and other "vintage" sundry items, Wishnevskys will one day reap huge returns thanks to their intrinsic "cheese" factor!

well, take heart. remember, there are some cheesy things that don't increase in value or appeal as they get older.

cheese, for one.

Cute pickup routing...

[Philbiker]

Not to mention the pickup position. Could it be any closer to the bridge?

 

[Munjibunga]

Just so you know, I drooled on that bass.
