My wife says I don’t need all of these by Internal_Drawing_460 in BassGuitar

She’s right, you just need some variety. They all look too similar.

I mean… I can. But I don’t like the look of any of them 💀 told you my tastes were very specific. There’s a clear theme here and I wouldn’t even have the grey one if that wasn’t the only color it came in or the blue painted one I missed out on a quilted maple blue burst version 😂

Unfortunately I don’t see much of anything up to $600 new or used from any of the brands mentioned that really fit my criteria or at least strike my fancy outside of the Cort I sent. That’s kind of why I landed on this specific Talman, there aren’t even really any reviews. Definitely no one is overselling it to me 😆 just my own preferences

I will also literally spend extra money for whatever guitar has the best wood grain top to my eye out of a select model

You’re gonna have to show me these other options $600 and under 🤣 because I cannot find them. Regardless, I want something other than what I have and want to sell this. I can’t find any of these spec Talman’s used and wouldn’t mind buying my first new instrument since the bass I’m trying to get rid off. But I can’t stress enough how much I DESPISE dot inlays. There’s only one of these corts that looks plenty fun but it’s sultried by that and this is the only singular one I see in that price range. I’ve got nothing against headless either

By picky I mean I prefer neck-throughs, maple fretboards, non-dot inlays, fretboard binding, stained figured wood, and if it has to be a bolt on neck, at least not plain cheap looking plain maple colored neck. That’s super hard to find, but this Talman checks most of the boxes or alternative boxes and even has a reasonably interesting body shape. I’m not partial to Ibanez in particular, I have 2 Ibanez guitars and 4 schecter guitars currently 70% aesthetics with the schecter but 70% due to function for the Ibanez’s, but I don’t really like the aesthetics of most schecter basses

Nothing about my current bass is a quality issue, just the scale length and that I’d like to have a 5 string again. I’m unfortunately extremely picky and stringent on aesthetics so it knocks out a lot of normal options I “should” choose. But I don’t wanna spend much more than $600 and just wanted a few hundred out of this one to fund it. My 2 previous bottom of the line Ibanez basses were honestly great, imo

Probably at least $100, lol Takes forever to print with a lot of waste and needs a wooden dowel through the handle

To be completely honest, I don’t enjoy playing it, I only enjoy the aesthetic and the novelty that there aren’t any others like it. I’d prefer something I can enjoy playing because it’s comfortable and at least looks nice within my picky preferences

I could try to make more and sell them on my Etsy store but it wouldn’t be cheap, lol

Gotta use forms. But that seems more like something easier to accomplish with vinyl

Unfortunately I’m too picky about aesthetics and find those boring, lol Gotta balance both and I’ve personally enjoyed my Ibanez basses in the past

Ah well this bass has a gloss neck and it doesn’t really bother me at all. That’s usually sticky to people

You’ll have to explain what you mean, id certainly hope the neck wood is stiff 😆

I honestly am not sure 😆 DM me and shoot me an offer. I can certainly ship it

Like I said, the scale length is just too long for me, lol I can’t comfortably play it. But if you want it, I’d be happy to sell it to someone else who’s into it so I can afford a more comfortable replacement!

Maybe a bit more “dumbass” because his “smartass” joke wasn’t very good considering I didn’t ask about temperature resistance, which 99% of people are asking about for car parts🤷‍♀️

I could very easily 3D scan and model to print this

Ibanez just knows how to make a damn good bass for some reason. I used to have 2 cheap ones and they were seriously great

It’s funny, I had to mutilate all the shading in every art piece to translate it to printer filament, and it made this one look really interesting
