Nice basses, but Smith-basses are extreme expensive.

Agreed, nice thingies, but if u want a similar bass for two fortunes less o money i'll go for the Cort Artisan A series. They come with similar electronic and general setup. And compared to the most expensive smith electronics, the bartolini used here aren't that bad.

Also speaking tech now, i don't like Bubinga wood (ok, ok i don't like wood at all), but Bubinga is, imho, a wood that sounds too lush, not punchy enough for me, and the electronics have too much of a work there, if u want that punchin sound. The hard maple used with the A series is, imho, very well enough for the "normal" bass player, and much more easier to handle.

And they sure look alike: Cort A6

Artisans are nice, especially for their money. Cort's electronics suck in general though, but I heard the later models have that problem fixed.

I dunno, I prefer the SR body style though.

now here we have a gr8 site...nice airbrush designs and some neat lookin basses
what i think is the damn best thing on that page is the following:

Now here's something that caught my attention at ebay. Whenever I do a search for 'bass', I have to browse through listings for both kinds of bass - bass (the instrument) and bass (the fish). Usually I find myself wishing that there was a way to ignore all the fish-stuff.

amen brother...that is SO true

gr8 site...have a look or two

My bass, and ones I like and dis like.

[COLOR=Red]My bass is the pic attached, I know it isn't much but my new one is attached next to it, anyways its a BC RICH, they rock they have the perfect sound if ur a metal man lol. I love it sounds incredibly low and very good with my boss overdrive pedal. Anyways adios, I hate that Rogue VB-100 Violin bass its ugly as hell... so isn't the Rickenbacker 4003, no offense to Rickenbacker fans, they do make other good guitars but this one was just an ugly mistake.

to the Violin bass all we have to do with it now is burn the damn thing.

If you want to see an interesting bass, check out the double neck monster I'm building now. See the "DragonSlayer" at my web site. Let me know what you think...

I don't like double necked guitars. It seems stupid. I guess that's because I'm not too fond of octave strings. It's kind of like cheating to get a better sound imo. Damn that must be heavy.

yep, back. Had one hell of a ride with jobs the last year. Store I worked for had to close, so I jumped jobs and didn't have a lot of time.

Well basically the Bogarts could be headless, but it's an interesting solution they took with their headstock design. You have to get used to it I admit, but the graphite neck definetly kicks major ass

Graphite neck.
Pencil neck ha.

ok that was stupid, anyways why is it that Bogarts could be headless? I don't really know anything about headless guitars, though I suppose it's essentially the same thing except you tune on the bridge. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a headless bass? Does it cost more? I think I saw a Death video in which Chuck Sculdiner played a headless guitar. Please feel free to ramble all sorts of info about headless basses.

Ok from my experience.
Advantages:
- more comfortable handling. since the mechanics and headstock are basically built in at the bridge, the neck becomes lighter. Not much maybe, but your back will feel even a few hundred gramms less over the time

- the above point negates all top heavy basses. Of course you can run into a tail heavy bass then, but almost all headless basses I found were perfectly balanced w/o any customization

- I found them to be more precise when it comes to tuning and they kept tuning longer. Given good enough hardware it doesn't matter what built is used on the bass, but in general headless is heavy duty and even under
difficult circumstances they keep tuning

Disadvantages:
- expensive, yes. Since headless basses are not mainstream, most of them are rare and therefor expensive (famous example the Steinbergs)

- matter of taste, most ppl don't like the look. From what I've heard from customers they look "unfinished", "broken" etc

Out of that list ppl argue over the sound headless vs. normal for years already. There are ppl who claim headless lost tone and balance by ripping the head off, other ppl say the neck gets more sustain that way. Endless fight

Since I'm a fan of them, I can't really think of more disadvantages. Other ppl might continue this list

yeah Micheal Spalt's basses are fragile looking but they sound increadable, espcially the magma because of its optical pick-ups. He made another line of bassed the vViper line and they are some of the most versitile instements i have heard because of the movable pickup. the hybrid line is also very ergonomical because all of the peices are moveable

Through necks are sexy. But Warwicks are really expensive. I find they are even overpriced. Since they have such a good reputation they make you pay a few extra hundred dollars for the name. Oh well ...

And yes those looks like they would break just from playing them.

its pretty simple man, just download some bass artists like stu hamm and victor wooten, you would pick it up from watching it, download some chili peppers, watch flea play the bass.. get ''off the map'' dvd by them

if you want some real details.. PM me, cos this is not in topic.

That pic your commenting on is from Wacken 2003 if im thinking correctly, I seen him play that with Testament, it was awesome. I think his best work is on the Control Denied album, so amazing

Cool bass...

The Fender (Squier) P-Bass with red body and white guitar pick is one of the cleanest sounding, and coolest looking basses around. (If you do add a strap stopper to both the strap holders so you can thrash while you play. >_<; )
well...it is my opinion...you can think otherwise! :-P

no... -_-'; because it's one of the only six basses I've ever played in my whole life...and the Fender is the cheapest, and cleanest...and I'm poor as heck, so I'll stick with my junker 'til I can save up for a Washburn.

Neck-through Fretless 6 Odyssey

Not too keen on 6 strings, but this has a nice body, neck through design.

i rendered this with rhino a couple months ago (keep in mind it was like, my first render). im tryin to make it a real bass, even though the design isnt quite accurate to a guitar you get the picture. if it is designed i wanna make the headstock wicked fuckin sharp for...i dunno, gouging out peoples' eyes?
http://www.emuasylum.com/forums/att...tid=23109&stc=1

this one was fun, it may not be a bass but i just thought what the hell? again, i need to work on the design for it to actually be playable. btw, i didnt put any strings on it cuz the strings on the last one A sucked and B were a bitch...
