[Watchootognbout]

I just saw this on Reverb!
Nearly $10,000.00!
Specimen Products Luddite Six String Bass 2017 Natural Macassar Ebony and Mahogany

Although I like the Macassar ebony top,this bass is MEH!!

There's no cutout for upper register playing!
Skip the whammy and put on some Hipshot detuners?
Nope!
Still not coming home with me!

I could have a Stradi Symphony fretless and an N/S Stick for less that price!!!
Pass.

 

[el murdoque]

I'd rather not.
I have no use for a vibrato arm on my guitar and I sure as heck don't have one on bass. They write it is 'actually really stable' - for over eight grand, I'd expect 'rock solid' in every tiny little bit.

Also, a shortscale 6 string that looks like a guitar? pass .. . .

 

[Nashrakh]

I find the idea behind it to be neat - 6 strings, whammy bar, slightly shorter scale. But the aesthetics don't do it for me. Also not sure if the price tag is warranted.

 

[Korladis]

If I was rich and it was a 4 string.

 

[Mr_O'B]

I would rather buy multiple basses!

 

[Doctor J]

I would not. It looks very uncomfortable to play and I expect some level of consideration for that from a 100 quid bass, never mind a 10,000 quid one.

I'd go for two Wals instead

 

[bholder]

Nope, it's pretty, but not for me (not at that price, maybe at 1/10th).

 

[charlie monroe]

Pass

 

[jd56hawk]

Not even if I won Mega Millions.

 

[lowendblues]

Just exactly why would it cost nearly 10K? you cant even adjust the truss rod.

 

[Thumb n Fingers]

no interest whatsoever. pass.

 

[tat2clod]

I'm not seeing $10K in that offering. Like others have said would buy a couple of proven models.

 

[two fingers]

Not even at $500.

That being said, I don't even see quality and craftsmanship warranting that kind of price. At least with Ritter and others you can see obvious craftsmanship. This is a Les Paul ukulele on steroids with one pickup and a volume and tone?

My uncle was a pretty good wood worker. He could have made that thing without blinking.

 

[Liam Wald]

I can do nicely without, thank you.

 

[foolforthecity]

I would not.

 

[Worldeeeter]

What an awful instrument. No one told that guy it's possible to make a 32" scale instrument with access to more than 12 frets. A $10K paperweight.

 

[Oddly]

No.

 

[CB3UK]

Nope. Looks more like an expensive long neck guitar to me. Pass.

 

[Stranger Danger]

No way

 

[murmur70]

I'd get a Squier Bass VI instead if I was into that kind of thing.
