Members willbill0587 Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm picking it up next week because it needs a little setup but here are some pics of it. (This is not my bass, but they're the same) ' alt='>'>' alt='>'>' alt='>'> Here are a few specs; MAVERICK X5 5 STRING BASS GUITAR RELEASED AS A VERY LIMITED RUN OF ONLY 20 5 STRING MODELS WORLDWIDE. 2 x piece centre joint basswood body Canadian Maple / Bubinga neck Double octave 24 fret AAA grade Indian Rosewood fingerboard Evolution roller controls S5 humbucking pick-ups 9v 3 band EQ, Bass, Mid, Treble Maverick / Gotoh Die-Cast machineheads Its really nice to play and the neck is extremely small for a 5 string, doesn't feel much different from a 4 string, its sounds amazing, it killed the Warwick I played before it and it looks super cool. Now I've just got to get used to having an extra string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod0dmw Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 It's very weird looking, but I really like it. Pretty cool! Let us know how it is...and welcome to the world of 5 strings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joelFG Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 is that the dave pybus signature? i like the rolling pots, but the regular ones look a little out of place against them. good catch though considering only 20 were made! btw, is your avatar from dark tower?

Members willbill0587 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 It is a Dave Pybus sig but I didn't know that when I bought it. Yeah, the pots do look a bit odd next to the rollers but you get used to it. Yes that is Roland on the western sea with the dark tower in the background. Ace books.

Ace books. i came close to buying a dave pybus sig from a store local to me. i think they had dave himself instore signing to launch it.. my parents swear by the dark tower books. ive not read them myself, but i plan to as soon as i finish the john leguizamo bio, the new jeff lindsay - dexter book... aaand phillip pullman dark materials... which my dad is also very much into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members funkrockfreedomfighter Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm sorry, what's up with those roller knobs? How to they interact with the other knobs? Looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joelFG Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm sorry, what's up with those roller knobs? How to they interact with the other knobs? Looks interesting. theyre just standard pots. probably volume, pan? theyre a maverick patent i think. dude called jim davies from pitchshifter + the prodigy helped design it with maverick a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
