There's a BEAUTIFUL one on bassalone.com

Yes, I forgot about Brases. They are nice. That 5er has been available at bassalone for quite awhile - maybe because of the unusual color. I like the natural 6er even better.

What I more specifically meant was - basses with an open body hole, not just a horn variation. Are there any besides Wishnevsky?

Stumbled across Steve Wishevsky's site (Link Removed) and found this on the electric bass page; "...designs with more points will have more highs." Yeah ok buddy.

Mr. Wishnevsky is a true American Folk Art icon....He deserves more repect! Please!....

toker...?

oh i'm sorry... thought you meant this dude.

That guy's smoking something. Those basses of his are God-awful ugly! They look about as ergonomic as a guillotine.

I've got a little GAS for a wishy fretless. If I could find a cheap one, I'd be on top of it.

BoognishMang that dude looks like a lady........ I see boobies ....... I'll say it again, Mr Wishnevsky is a fine American Folk Artist. I'm not talking folk music here either. ... every instrument he makes is art. You may not like it but it's true....I hate seeing someone being ripped for doing something they love....

 

[Lackey]

OK,, to each his own,, but how does a pointier body style have more treble response??

 

[BoognishMang]

you see wrong Fetch, it's definetly a dude. I know him.

But each to their own. True.

Would that include the Wishnevsky MKII "banana" bass???

.....basses and thalidomide...a bad combination

I hear those holes in the horns eliminate dead spots.

Very well stated.

Well, I disagree. I think they are ugly basses. And his theory about creating basses that only have a single pickup and single control is fine, but not very practical in my opinion.

"...but most people who play my basses know I'm on the right track" ...right... sure you are...

I wouldn't insult his basses until you've tried them, they might surprise you...

have YOU played one?

 

[Philbiker]

Somebody on talkbass has one, they posted last month about it. I'm still waiting for the review/recording/pictures.

Call me crazy but I actually kind of like the Bannana bass.
