rockinredneck69 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Cool...a 3 stringer, never seen one of those...whats the specs on that, skipping the "G" string? Donnie Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 OK, I get it, it's a 3 string. But... What's up with all the knobs? I mean, if it's a 3 string to simplify, then I think a wrong turn has been made there. 3 strings should mean 3, maybe 4 knobs, tops. Maybe a switch, too. Unless, that is, they all make the bass sound really shweet. Of course. Then it's all good. Seriously, cool looking bass. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

40hertz Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 actually,it is a custom made 3 string bass with a DOD envelope filter attached...unfortunatelly i can't find the link to the luthier who made this bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Oh. So, do they make it sound shweet or not? Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSikes Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 The three stringer is a Hotwire bass. Apparently tuned C-F-Bb. (www.hotwire-bass.com) I can't testify as to whether it sounds shweet or not, but there are a bunch of sound clips on the Hotwire website. Some of them are pretty interesting.

Ash body w/ matching p/u covers, maple board, chrome hardware. Not having heard this bass, I have to judge it on looks, and, for me, the dark finish would benefit from a darker color board, and the (primary)tone characterictics of ash might benefit from a rosewood or ebony plank as well. On this darker looking bass, black or gold hardware would be preferred. And I don't do red basses like Jeremy C does blue ones... Just 'cuz you asked...

Peace, wraubI agree about the hardware and general aesthetics around color, but disagree about the 'board. I like the sound of a maple 'board w/ an ash body, but I could be persuaded that an ebony 'board would work nicely in this instance. I do like the deep red color of this bass, although, like my esteemed colleague, wraub, I don't do red basses the way JeremyC does blue ones... Like Adrian, I loves me a nice F bass -- too bad I don't have one.

jeremy c Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Folks, it's not all blue basses around here. The list: basses: Mike Lull M4V....custom blueburst Paul Reed Smith V....navy blue Carvin LB76....blue stain '71 Fender Jazz..sunburst Musicman Sterling fretless..tobacco sunburst Ashbory...red Fernandes P copy...black Hohner ABG...orange stain guitars: Rogue strat copy...blue Gibson J-50..natural Jay Turser 135...cherry sunburst And in the past many other colors have been represented around here. All contributions gratefully accepted... I agree that the bass that started this thread would look better with a dark fingerboard...I suggest Pau Ferro. Free download of my cd!.

I don't think he's had EB MM re-create it for him.

Rhythm44 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 If that red one comes in a 4-string, I'm on it! *Drools over 3-string* I might just make one for fun. Of course it'll be a plywood special, but I just want to prove I can do it.

Tom Capasso Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 All my basses are red, so that F Bass has the look I love. I would prefer a darker wood on the fretboard as well - not for the look (it looks cool either way) but for the sound. Before his place burned down, Kevin Brubaker had done some work with staining the fretboards. I'd like to see that maple board stained red....

Invincible Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 That first bass sure is damn nice, not to sure about the pups though. That three stringer's not bad.

P-berger Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'm usually pretty picky...but that first pic almost made me cum in my pants! The grain-matched wood pu covers and super slick neck are gorgeous. What is this bass & how much does she cost? (wishful thinking more than anything else!)

¾ Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 A three string bass? When did this happen? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? Need the info people. Sheesh. I can't imagine though what I would ever use that third string for. I mean, sheesh, isn't just E and A enough? What is this now, rocket science? Next you'll be telling me I can upgrade my old Edison Wax Cylinder Repliduceratoratrolicor. the only good signature is the one on a cheque or a confession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
