Variax Bass 700

Yeah, don't understand why they go for such ugly body shapes.

Warmoth do a replacement body for the Variax now, add a top Warmoth neck and off ye go

Still no double neck explorers.

That's a bad thing?

Meh, that's just going to be horribly awkward :eek:

Dunno, I just don't like this Variax thing, the presets seems to be based around players, like the fretless jazz bass one (big time Jaco), which synthesizes the fretless bass sound onto a fretted bass, so even **** players are in tune. That's just wrong. It's 'who do you want to sound like'?

I watched their little movie too, the acoustic bass setting is soft poo

That was me I think the feel of a guitar has a big influence on how you play. A Strat feels different to a Les Paul and has an influence on how you play it. I dunno, the guitar got very good reviews but the whole thing just seems a bit sterile, lacking character.

Indeed. Your shoulder should suffer to get Les Paul tones. That's just the way it is and always has been baby

Bah humbug to EMG. Les Paul pickups should be left alone. The Gibson pickups are sweet.

I wouldn't mind hearing that Tony Iommi Gibson humbucker

Bling

Tony Iommi is a man I'd trust when it comes to tone. Gibson's first signature pickup, apparently.

Naaaaaahhhhhh

Fugly.

Looks like a chunk of the dashboard from a VW Polo...

Tony Iommi pickup in JS chrome guitar?

Nah, total chrome. Blingarrific
