Srill available special order for ~$3-4k for full ESP’s. They also released versons on some of their sub-brands like Navigator. There’s also a signature version for Loudness’ bass player that was a lot more (as they only made 10 of those).

This one’s… weird - the Gittler bass(es):

Interesting addition to the tonewood discussion also :joy:

They act as MIDI controllers also, and there is a fretless version as well…

Was almost tempted to put this in the “ugly duckling” category, because… well, it has no soul (to me), even though it has cool engineering.
Alas, for all the aircraft-grade titanium aficionados, I put it here :grin:

Glitter bass is the wrong name here.
Festive pole bass is more fitting.
Or fishbone bass.

Agree. Weird and soulless

In all fairness, it’s “Gittler” (the name of the guy who designed this thing; well, he designed a guitar like that, and later they also made a bass)

I like festive pole bass :joy:

Um. Wow. Weird is right. I applaud their… ingenuity, I guess? For lack of a better word.

For all the cool technology and looks, the sound let’s me down

Yeah, lightweight, tonally. No depth or resonance.

Right!?! I don’t know what they were doing…

There is another video you can find where the guy seems to use mainly the MIDI controller output of the bass… it’s like WTF? For more than 8K?? Weird indeed!
