Impulse 101 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Have you ever tried one? I have. He's right, even the big 'ol Gibson isn't as bad as you would think. I've been trying to get a good 6/12 for years but the good ones are crazy money. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo57 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I've always fancied a guitar/bass double. Strat and Jazz, naturally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also this, which looks pretty nice. http://mansons.co.uk/shopping/brands/bass-shop-over-1000/stark/ebass-bass-guitar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i believe this was Tim's too, not 100% http://mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/manson-electric-guitars/manson/stealth-fuzz-electric-guitar/ i'm guessing the top horn knob is the fretless volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more curious about the sound than anything else - he told me about the pickup a while back, but i don't remember what he said exactly. nothing specific though. it's supposedly a more meaty MQ. i bet it sounds amazing, but the wood probably contributes to it.

Phil. Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Euughh that guitar looks horrible to me, the shape looks faaaar too square or something, dont really like the finish, and the tremolo looks stupid too. The neck looks fucking sweet though, And yeah, I'll give you that the grain looks nice, but that's about it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I love that kind of "etched" effect on the top. I've seen that on some really nice natural finish basses. If I remember where i'll repowrt back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 yeah, i don't think i've seen a flame ash top on a guitar before - looks great. musecasters (or rust_relic), next time you go to mansons, maybe give this guitar a try? not sure if you already tried the stealth LP DC, but i'm pretty curious about them.

cheddatom Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 ugh my god, it was Overwater. I'm struggling to find amazing pics, but you get the idea. EDIT: Maybe it was SEI? I can't find any good pics of the kind of top i'm on ab00t. I did find this on sei's page though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeh I suppose it's a bit flamboyant, but I really like the top ha!! i love the grain but hate the shape (looks like a starfish having a stretch) and not a fan of bass guitars with more than 5 strings, but i guess it's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yeh the shape isn't the best. It's the grain in the top I love!! How come you don't like basses with more than 5 strings? They look too wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It's more the fact you should just get a normal guitar and a whammy pedal than a 6 string bass. then you can be pro AND get laid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know how they say your bass/guitar is your cock extension? then the Whammy is the extension to your cock extension, and NO woman can resist such an extended piece of hardware.
