>>>>Nice bass!

Nope. Ugliest fugger I've ever seen

But I'll let it stay for educational purposes....so Forumites can see what not to buy.

 

[bovinehost]

Yow.

When bassists go bad.

Looks like an autoharp.

Heh...if someone wants to pay to have that thing made, and then plays it--more power to 'em.

I don't pay much attention to the "boutique" stuff, but in the new issue of BP, they review a Dingwall (dingwalls got my bay-bay!). I haven't read it yet, just browsed through, but the retail price on that Dingo was unfreakingbelievable.

$8600 bucks. I showed my sister, who's here visiting. She laughed and laughed.

Is this the martini drinking sister (Cassie, was it)? She was probably laughing anyway!

BTW, Jack, maybe your sig should read "All Your {{BoNgo}} May Be Purchased Through Me" ??

No, Kassie of The Blue Martinis was definitely NOT my sister.

If she were, I'd have to move to West Virginia, heh heh.

I'm liking the signature line..

Saw Victor Wooten's brother, Reggie, play an 11 string like that... good god!!!The thing had more knobs and switches than a small aircraft. He was good, but I'll never understand the need (I had trouble with my 2 sixes and sold them both for a 4 and a 5).

 

[bovinehost]

Bass player on your left.

 

[tkarter]

I am sure it works for whom is playing it and I am also sure he makes more money playing it.

My SR5 works for me to the same extent.


Hell, I am a lefty playing right. He gots a whole bunch I don't and that ain't no harp tuned like that.


IMHO I need more woodshedding

"Why do guys like you and me know what a duvet is? Is it necessary to our survival in the hunter/gatherer sense of mind? No. So what does that make us? Consumers."

We don't need, but we can have it, so we will. Hey, if he can afford and wants to spend the money and if that bass really truly makes him happy... Power to him. Though, it's definately not a necessity.

 

[JB1]

BTW - it's listed as a 'contrabass', which I believe means it's tuned an octave lower than a regular bass.

Although I suspect that by the time you get to string 576 on the mutha, you gotta be in the 'normal' register.....surely?

Sorry, horses for courses & all that but I hate the mofo and sit firmly in the Tony Levin camp (i.e. if EBMM would make ME a 3 string, I had have one!)

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

I have a hard time playing Dusty Hill licks well...fugg that!

Jack what did you show your sister to make her laugh and laugh?

 

[bovinehost]

Heh heh.

THE DINGWALL RETAIL PRICE.

Then I showed her my black sapphire Bongo.

Poor thing, she has no idea what I'm talking about, but she nods her head and pretends to be interested.

Story of our lives Jack, story of our lives.
