G77

local you can find G77 .. they offer POT basses for a decent price, the build is solid, tried one before ...

Guitar Workshop does custom stuff too ...

overseas there tons of them ... James Basses, Warmoth, Bee Basses etc ...

 

[cherns]

Yah - here

Nordstrand Jazz basses

 

[basswong]

i kind of want a precision bass... not really in to the whole jazz bass thing..

and how is the customing done?
not familiar with it at all

 

[basswong]

do you guys around here know anyone crazy enough to custom make an all mirror bass for me?

 

[reyrey]

if you mean all the material will be made of mirror,i tell you bro,better dont do it,save your money,it may be an attention grabber,but the sound will drive everyone away

 

[basswong]

i meant just the outer layer be mirror but inside it would be wood

would that make the sound better?

 

[iverson763]

oh, some sort like muse's craig bellamy's guitar? i.e. http://www.mansons.co.uk/show_feature.cfm?id=13&

I don't see how the mirrors will enhance the sound of the bass.. maybe you're thinking it will "reflect" the sound well? heh. Tho i can foresee you wiping it up every 5 minutes.. mirror = fingerprint magnet

 

[reyrey]

hmmm...depends on how you define better...'better' for you might be 'bad' for me bro

 

[basswong]

cause right now i cant think of a bass thats nice and the all mirror thing just excites me...
by better i mean... sounding like a normal ibanez precision bass or something

and iverson its matther bellamy not craig haha

 

[ahkiatt]

if you play with a pick, and your bass has low action... you'll have a problem of scratches. and i think a custom furniture shop should be able to do it cheaper.

 

[silverdanz]

if i'm not mistaken warwick has a line of chrome finish basses. looked interesting...

 

[Z3r0_G]

yea the streamer chrome. i wouldnt buy one though. i liuv the wood finishes a lot better. bubinga pommele! or some burl top!

 

[iverson763]

thanks basswong for the correction

Saturday night = football nite, natural mistake.. heh

 

[basswong]

well i play with fingers..so i dont think pick playing would be a problem

and would a furniture shop really do it cheaper?
haha

 

[reyrey]

go ask around bro,dont expect us to feed you with all the info

 

[Z3r0_G]

let him ask around here la. come on. this is supposed to be a friendly forum.

 

[Gr3y]

you asking for a mirror cover over ur whole bass?

 

[reyrey]

how we're supposed to know whether its cheaper or not...its something that you can find out on your own,just open yellow pages and ask the furniture shop yourself,only need 10 mins to do that,rather than waiting 1 whole day for other people's reply...
i may sound like an asshole,i apologise for it 8)
