Also wouldn’t have been easier to just leave more meat at an angle on the back of the guitar?

Actually some bodies, including my Ibanez EHB, do exactly the opposite and have less on the upper back of the body which naturally angles it up a little.

Imma get that to use on all the Tolkien songs in my Zeppelin tribute band.

Would also come in handy for my Dio tribute band.

As a girthy individual this is 100% what I need on stage. Extra points if it had a real pizza veneer that you could peel off and eat while playing.

Feeling the itch to switch to the knobby side?

[howard]

Wild. Alembics are normally weird (in a good way) but this is above average weird.

At a guess, are the pickups driving an internal bass synth?

Alembic posted this as an April Fool’s gag.

It succeeded to explode the brains of OCD bassists.

It also spawned the tagline:

“Never Find that Tone Again.”
