deanmass Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I think it is a 3 beer Bass. Kind of like a chick with a big nose, but a very nice look otherwise. Too bad I am a 7 beer guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I am a 7 beer guy. I've done the 7-stringers, but never wanted to take one home with me. Afraid of what it'd look like in the morning when I'm sober.

EddiePlaysBass Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Definitely a fugly bass ... But that Ibanez EDA is fuglier "I'm a work in progress." Micky Barnes The Ross Brown Shirt World Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebassman Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I saw a flame topped Cort g***** with the same pickguard. I thought it looked way too busy. I'd prefer it on a solid colour. I don't mind the look of Conklins, I've never played one (probably can't even get 'em down here) but they look well balanced and comfortable.

... Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 It's just you. It's not that bad looking. Thanks DWBass for posting that TOP link. Damn they are a great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gord -B Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 TOP are so tight they actually make my head hurt Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water. http://www.myspace.com/gordonbache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicfiend Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 http://www.bassnw.com/Used%20Basses/kramer_ferrington_black.htm What do you guys think about this one..........I actually think it looks pretty cool. Hiram Bullock thinks I like the band volume too soft (but he plays guitar). Joe Sample thinks I like it way too loud (but he plays piano). -Marcus Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one sitting in front of me right now...it's obnoxiously large in the wrong places, but at least it also sounds terrible. "For instance" is not proof.

Big Red 67 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I saw a twelve or sixteen string model in a Cheap Trick video that sounded good. Big Red's Ride Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxofunk Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Originally posted by musicfiend: I mean, I don't think a photographer could do THAT to a bass...could he? Maybe it really is fugly, or else this photographer should consider his lighting technique too. Excuse me while I mop up the enthusiasm I once had for this bass. Perhaps I'll see Bill conklin at the Tower of Power show in Fayetteville. Perhaps I'll wait for him in the alley with my Toby 4 ready to rumble. Perhaps... - Matt W.

And at DR CLUCKS I'm afraid the fugly is confirmed. Rocco's is so pretty. These are so... not pretty. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArwinH Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well I think what I don't think looks right on the bass is, for starters, all of that space between the p and j pickup; its like jim casy in the grapes of wrath, a person with half their face above the eyebrows. the angled pickups don;t help, and the pickguard's color looks out of place, as well as its figure. The shape of the pickguard also looks very weird with curves in the wrong places, also the lower left corner where it extends, looks like a tail. The body looks very very long, and the horn on the sidewinder design just doesn't work for me on a 4 string especially one that has (probably) 21 frets. I'm used to seeing the back bout of the bass being wider than the horn, and that's not the case on this bass. Way too much curvage goin on down on the bottom end too (oh wait, I was talking about the bass..k, back on topic.. ) To be honest though, I liked the way rocco's model looks alot, it looked beautiful in that stage. I dig a lot of other conklins as well, I mean, Jason's 7 string looks very pretty. I guess I won't be buying the 4 string. It'd discontinued IIRC. I guess it wasn't meant to be. P.S. Rocco is STILL a bad mamma jamma, no matter WHAT he plays. The man could play a recorder for all I care, he'd still get funky. www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 How does it compare to the beauty of: - Elrick Evolution 4 - Roscoe LG305? Davo "We will make you bob your head whether you want to or not". - David Sisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
