Wishnevsky!!!!!!

[The Sound of the Police]

I only wish I could say such good things about that novel of his.

 

[HiFi]

I have a Wishnevsky in my collection. I figured I had the dough to shell out and it looked interesting enough. It will never be my main bass but...

I like the acoustic tone and feel. The sound is good and it plays nicely. Mr. Wisnevsky also had good communication and was very service oriented. I'm glad I have a unique bass that's fun to play.

There is one thing I didn't like and that was that the bass does not get very loud. Because this bass is mostly for practice I don't mind too much. The bass is being used in acoustic and soft jams.

Hope this objective look at Wishnevsky's work helps.

DO you mean it doesn't get loud acoustically? If you mean plugged in I don't get it.

 

[HiFi]

Yep. It doesn't get very loud when plugged in. I don't know why. but I still like the bass.

 

[geshel]

Um, forgive my denseness, but why can't you just turn up the amp?

 

[EEbass04]

Ever heard of a volume knob...turn it up.

 

[HiFi]

I'm not that stupid. I've got the amp up all the way, along with every other knob that helps boost the sound. Still, not to loud. The bass is also all the way up. I've been playing bass a long time and trust me, it isn't very loud even when everything is cranked!

 

[geshel]

OK - I didn't think you were that dense, it was me I was excusing.

Soo. . .sounds like it's wired wrong. Should be able to have a tech fix it right up pretty quick.

 

[HiFi]

Ya, like I said, it's mainly for practice so I'm not too worried about ti. It sounds pretty good. Thanks.

Who said Fine Art has to be functional to be appreciated? Come on guys,, think about it....did you really think that your Wishnevsky Bass Art Sculpture was going to play or sound like Lakland? Wishnevsky is a Artist not a Luthier ....

 

[ChaosGwar]

Fetch, read the first line of my Signature.


BTW, as whacked out as his designs are, I kinda want one.

 

[Curtis M. Wise]

Ole "Wishy" if you will, is no doubt "artsy fartsy" alright. I don't see anything wrong with functional art. I've never heard one of his instruments. They might very unique and praiseworthy! I like some of his designs, some of them.....well...He wasn't just toking, if you know what I mean!

 

[Dude]

Uhhhhh is "being a toker" supposed to be considered a negative thing??

I'd actually say that those designs would have been inspired by something...uhhhh...a little more "potent" than herb but keep in mind this is only my opinion (and I bought a Spalt Matrix).

 

[Skorzen]

I just saw this and thought it was kinda cool, ABG and it doesent look like a Picaso Well here it is, enjoy

 

[Hambone]

I studied those pics for quite awhile trying to figure out what looked so "off" about that design. After awhile it came to me that the neck is misaligned with the body - in a big way!! The front looks almost correct but the sound holes just don't look right but when you look at the back of the bass, the centerline of the neck and the centerline of the body are about as misaligned as they can be.

 

[Limezone]

Q. What almost looks like a bass, but still is?

A. A Wishnevsky

 

[ldiezman]

what.. i see no problem here...... Invalid Link Removed

oh wait.. i forgot to wear my glasses..

 

[rickbass]

Well, it's less of a mess than the others.......but it's still a mess.

 

[Kraig99]

I don't mind the look of this one, except for the ugly knob.

I guess he doesn't need a truss rod or ferrules for through-body stringing either. There's only one Wishnevsky. Thank God.
