Guitarists?

[THE Phen]

Yes. Yes you do.

 

[Crazee D]

Now this thread is pumping!

Seriously!! What the pheck is goin on over at Phen's Phucking Guitar Shack! It's like a showroom over there!

^^^ LOL! Phen and I are house-mates and both musicians, though opposite sides of the musical spectrum.

Now the amps, Phen! haha! I'm slowly catching up to your collection...

 

[THE Phen]

Good point! I'll get some amp photos later.

I don't have the time or resources to take pictures of all my guitars, basses, amps, cases.....hey....this is rhyming lol

I don't have pics, but I play a Takamine acoustic - that count?

 

[Lewis7789]

^^^ Pics or (gtfo)




just kidding, buddy.

I found my old Warmoth I built on TalkBass.com. Apparently one of the previous owners did a couple gigs with Keith Urban with it. That made me feel good.

When I get my own house I'm going to set up one room with a small bench and built my own Warmoth basses for customers. There is a crazy demand for them (since most bassists don't know how to work on their own gear) and maybe make a couple bucks.

 

[THE Phen]

^Sounds like a good plan. How much do those guys usually go for?

Can I have Phen when you leave him? I have an extra room at my house

 

[THE Phen]

Lol!

If you can stand living with my wife and two kids hahaha

 

[Lewis7789]

I don't think your house is big enough for all Phen's crap. haha

 

[JDM_Pro5]

4 bedroom, 2 bath, no storage

You would be shocked to see how much these guys pay for assembled basses. My Warmoth was top-o-line everything and cost me $1400. There is a cat who used to work for Sadowsky who assembles Warmoth basses and he charges about $2k for a bass. And Warmoth does all the finishes, he just assembles the hardware and wires them up. Pffsht, I could do that! haha

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I would love to build custom shops for a living

 

[Lewis7789]

It doesn't look that hard. This one guy does all his sales on TalkBass.com and everything is word of mouth for his "marketing" and there is a 4 month waiting list. Bassist are weird.

3D printed guitars/basses? Thoughts?

Neat concept. I question the tone...

 

[Lewis7789]

I totally agree. Especially for ~$3500 + shipping from New Zealand. No thanks. I'll stick to my chunky, heavy-ass Fender bassball bat, thanks.
