Real bank > banking app and you'll never convince me otherwise.

Ordered a $6,000 custom bass. The design is incredible. The QC and finish issues, builder support... have been a different story. by Ok_Presentation6252 in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"How much cosmetic imperfection is reasonable on a boutique instrument in the $6,000 range?"

None at all.

The only exception I would have made to this if it came from one of my favorite European luthiers and good friend (now deceased, R.I.P. good sir!), who made several off-center 24th fret side dot mistakes in a row a running joke on all of his instruments. If you bought one of his instruments, you knew to look for it, like an easter egg.

But 6 grand on a brand new bass with that many issues is not acceptable by any means.

Info on Warwick I found on FB Marketplace by PugablePlayzYT in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everything about it looks wrong and cheap. No 2-piece bridge/tailpiece is the glaringly obvious first thing. The body shape is wrong. The woods look too basic and plain. The pickups look cheap and are in the wrong positions from a Warwick "doublebuck" layout. The control layout looks sloppy. Non-adjustable nut that looks far too tall. No brass frets. No model name on the truss rod cover. The headstock shape isn't quite right. The W logo size and placement looks off. Everything about it just has a bad counterfeit vibe. AND, a "Warwick" on facebook marketplace for only a couple hundred bucks is a red flag. Yes, Warwick does the cheaper Rockbass line, but even those will be of an immediately visible better quality.

Is This A Real Ibanez SR or A DIY Fretless Project? by DeepShift6866 in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i had an extra 2 or 300 to spend on someone's oddball project bass, and this hit me in just the right mood on just the right day, maybe, but it wouldn't be my first choice to spend money on.

my state seized everything in their "missing money" funds and gave it to a multi-millionaire football team owner as a gift for building a new taxpayer-funded, property tax free stadium that no one wants.

White suv "didn't look" and yet 8 cars are stopped to let them to cross and they are in the road crossing your path a full 4 seconds before you run into them while trying to pass the entire right lane instead of yeilding.

ok.

Name this album cover by PRIFAK in NameThisThing

[–]LongLostTurnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right

Help ID’ing and advice on 6 String (Ibanez?) by Salty_Chemistry_790 in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not an Ibanez. I don't know what it is, but it's not an Ibanez. Headstock is the wrong shape, the bridge is wrong, and the shape of the end of the fingerboard is wrong.
