Scotty, if you were barfing after these gems, I suggest that if you see another post from me on this thread to avoid looking... I have many more even uglier.. no, fuglier, guitars in reserve.....
Bit of hardware missing . . . .

Tim is such a legend. Using the truck as a bridge, wheels as knobs. Genius.
I thought that's what this thread was all about! Bring it Dingo.Quote:

Ha! I've played one of them. The weird silicone/rubber strings felt as bizarre as they look. Didn't get to plug it in though. :(
Yhep... I have had the misfourtune to have played one as well... sounded just like red postie rubberbands strung on a timber school ruler...

Yes, they have both guitar and bass strings on the same neck

Haha Geoff, many, many, moons ago the first band I ever joined was as a bass player in a Jazz Quartet. I replaced a guitarist who had one bass string on his otherwise standard guitar. He played bass and guitar (not very well, if I recall correctly) but I never appreciated his skills until many years later. I didn't even know what "comping" was in those days. Knowing what I know (or more correctly, don't know) now, I wish I had half the talent that he had.Quote:

nice story Robin, so how did this guy play a 1 bass string/5 guitar string axe, does he play the bass notes with his thumb and play some guitar notes/chords with his other fingers ? I think this would be a real challenge !
Don't forget it was many years ago Warren, and as I was replacing him, I didn't get to see him play that much, but pretty much thumb/bass and fingers/guitar. He couldn't comp properly with only an E bass string (really also need an A bass string for flowing chord inversions). So his chords were fairly sparse, but the piano player did most of the rhythm/chords allowing him to add colour and flourishes while laying down a pretty basic bass line.
Cheers

@BG. Eliot, if you like this DO NOT GO TO THE NAUGHTY CORNER. I have to admit it has some sort of weird draw for me too. Let's go and give it a run! At least it's already fretless.
Fretty, I dont know whether to laugh or cry at that one.....
Only a guitar player could like that... :)
How do you play the outside strings on the 6-string bass? They aren't even on the fretboard!
good point Fretty, I never noticed that, looks like the builder didn't plan the bridge string holes too carefully. You might be lucky enough to play the outside strings in about the 1st 5 frets, after that no fingerboard underneath !
Got to give the builder credit for having a crack, hope he/she has improved since these pics !
Well, the one with chunks of abalone around the sides is his latest. Judging from the neck rout, i don't see much improvement.
Yes Pablo I emailed that pic to DB thinking it must have been late in the day he forgot to use a routing template !
Good Lord!!
Wow, those guitars are truly horrendous. Still, it does raise the issue of taking some care in this thread. I wouldn't want to see us positing pics of guitars built by people who are having a genuine crack (maybe without the skills or tools to match their endeavour). Otherwise we might come off a bit snobbish.
Feel free to post production guitars that are on the market, but maybe let's give any home builders a miss.

awesome we are all safe.
Fair call Adam. Reading back over my post, it does come off a bit mean. I will happily change or delete.
Edit: Thought it best to delete the snarky comments. Sorry guys.
