Custom Shop Flying V bass

[Dave W]

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.

A hundred dollars a string , and then extras ... varnish , truss rod , etc , etc .

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.

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

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.

[Highlander]

We can do better than that...

But it's not a gif!

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.

[Chris P.]

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...
