Forgive my ignorance, DMB, but what is it man?
No worries mate. It’s a small German company called Claas, the model is called Moby Dick.

NOOOO I hate you and love you at the same time...so jealous!!
I play in a Tribute to The Cult, Billy Duffy is obviously famous for playing one. I have the Electromatic version which is great but currently trying to aquire a full blown White Falcon..
I hear ya mate haha.. Been after one for ages myself. Best live tones I've ever heard was Billy playing through his modified Kolbe Marshalls into those TV cabs. Killer.
my two Eastman SB59's. They are getting new pickups this week. The Seymour 59's sound great but wanting a little more girth.
Display MoreOh snap, I forgot about this long running thread and posted my NGD in the "other gear" thread. I hope no one minds
Here's my latest.

Unlike most of my guitars, this one has a story. It is made with wood that is around 200-500 years old, and was submerged under water for 75-150 years before it was recovered. At least that's what the certificate says. It is made out of exotic mahogany and maple.
This Sugi DH496C is unique, because it is an SSS guitar and usually that model is HH.
It's made by Nick Sugimoto, the guy who worked with Steve Vai on the Ibanez Jem.
Unbelievably playable guitar, after so many years playing detuned humbucker guitars, playing in standard tuning with this has been a revelation.
Now that's nice!!
I recently bought this dirt cheap Harley Benton PJ-4 HTR bass from Thomann. This thing is fantastic for its price, plays and sounds wonderful. I also really like this Precision/Jazz hybrid thing. However, I think it just looks awful with the glossy red paint combined with the red pickguard and the slightly awkward looking pointy headstock shape. Also the colour of the maple neck looks like it has been bleached or something.
So I figured: I'm gonna try out my first refinish on a guitar. I stripped off the clear coat with a heat gun and sanded the thing down to the bare wood, hoping to find some nice wood grain so I can do a natural wood finish which would look pretty cool with the red pickguard I think. Apparently they had been using filler all over the place on this body, so a natural finish was not gonna happen (what was I expecting from a €129 guitar ). I decided to do a matte black finish instead. I also used some steel wool on the pickguard and pickup covers to remove the shiny look. Finally, I sanded down the neck, changed the headstock shape and applied some wood stain to darken the maple a bit.
I think it turned out pretty well. At least a lot better than it used to look...
Awesome! From a huge fan of satin/matte finish guitars! I have 8 of them.
I’d say that it’s a massive improvement over the factory look. Nice work DaanJM
I also recently got a new bass.
Another Made in Germany musical instrument.
Those frets look interesting

Looks very distinctive.
I agree with szykman...what's with those frets
...bet it's also very useful in a bar fight!
I see the W on the headstock but the body shape doesn't look like a Warwick. Fretboard does though
Those frets look interesting
They're brass frets. There are 26 of them!

Lol, despite the aggressive body shape, the headstock makes this more of a bludgeoner!

It's a Vampyre SN5. Basically their Vampyre body shape with a set neck. You see a lot of Rockbasses with this shape, and occasionally the Made in Germany ones pop up on Reverb or eBay.

1) Another One Bites the Dust
2) Got the Time
3) With or Without You
4)Hero Of the Day
5) I Wanna Be Your Dog
Excuse the playing, for some reason I have been trying to play this monster with my fingers.
Yes that bass screams metal to 100% no matter what you play.
Lemmy approves!

That Bass demands finger playing ; )
I was wondering on using different materials for frets on a new project i am doing...
is a 6 strings guitar and i wanted to make curved frets using maybe stain or cooper
as i don't have enought time and experience i will give up on that idea and use regular frets and maybe just the12th fret and the nut i will
consider brass or cooper... BTW i have a guitar and a bass guitar that has brass nuts and they are very cool! Sounded very good too!
