Lust for pink

Doable.

So, 1/you'll quite possibly want to replace the pickup if you go for the daisy.

Also, 2/FFS, don't pay list for one, they go for way, way cgeaper than list! I got both of mine for something like 35% off list.

List is $429, so I'm set there with any if the usual online suspects (US). Good catch on the "Duncan Designed" though. As hard as I want to hit it, in the cold light of day I'm prolly better off saving for the yellow.

the bass-heavy pickups apart, it's an amazingly good instrument in terms of finish, playability etc. It's the guitar I usually pick up first.

(I've borrowed a bass but my paws are too small for it, but then would I be laughed offstage - not that I have any real plans to get on one - for a short-scale bass? Do they sound weedy and not deep enough? Or do even Real Bassists have to move their hands just to stretch from fret 2 to fret 5? Should I should start a new short-scale instrument thread and stop derailing this one?)

The heart/flower/butterfly/star-shaped basses are all short-scale, but they do a range of full-scale basses as well. The h/f/b/s-shaped guitars come in regular & short-scale versions. I quite fancy a heart or flower-shaped bass, & I probably would play it onstage (I've used both of my pink guitars onstage already) although I've no idea if they're any good or not. I am a burly guy, as it happens, not tattoed though. The star I don't like, and the butterfly is too much, even for me.

Plenty of people play the Mustang bass.

By all means no, we should have a Daisy Rock thread!

mods, when you get a chance please retitle as "Lust for pink: TEH OFFICIAL IMM DAISY ROCK THREAD"

Anyway, I'd got tempted by the Daisy Rocks because I'd seen a few for 100 or 150 pounds Buy It Now on eBay UK (there are still some there) and I remembered reading good things about them on Pashmina's gear page (great read, by the way), but I just acquired a new midi controller keyboard, so for the next few weeks I will be good and not buy any more gear, or at least bury my tiny attention span in softsynths and not think about basses much. When I do I'll bear in mind the suggestions here, though. Cheers.

Have we not discussed the Hello Kitty strats? Anyway, they rule, as does the Batz Maru bass.

The Gibson Goddess and Vixen models seems a little more, what's the word... misbegotten. They got it right in a consustently conservative Gibson way from a features and styling standpoint, but the "Goddess" and "Vixen" names just ooze cluelessness. Which is to say, someone on the product development side would probably love to strangle someone on the marketing side.

In what way to cheap pieces of shit with cool paintjobs rule? I mean, really? Get one real Strat and put stickers on it!
