I had to look around , Wish did make a V inspired bass ... $200

That's not as bad as some of his creations I've seen.

Believe it or not, truss rods are optional on those things.

With age, they win more and more functional appeal with me. Truss rods and a nut wrench.

The one I played did not have one . Some people describe a really big neck as being like a baseball bat ... this was bigger .
Trust me , it did not need a truss rod .
And it truly possessed a terrible beauty .
There used to be a clip of Wishnevsky jamming with some guys on YouTube , his approach playing was as odd as his design sense . Kind of random glissando but without a tonal reference . Very strange .

Ok , I found it .
If I get tossed from this forum ... I understand .
For the love of God make sure your seated before you start this .

... the legendary Wishbass demo video

... ready ?

Unfortunately, we've seen and heard that one before.

You haven't seen my joke pre-CBS Wishbass photo.

Ah... that shows the "V", waiting to be hewn from the wood...

Dave... can we (pretty) please have a double face palm emoji...?

Best I can do.

We can do better than that...

You're identifying with Sam Eagle more and more these days.

That is because I want old-fashioned decency to ~~return~~ swoop in over America again. He simply appeals to me, Sam's feathers are a beautiful shade of blue with not even a trace of nasty orange.

Shit. I need a green knob in my life now.

Get your thumb back in that dyke until you've purged all such thoughts from your mind...
