NZ's Next Top Radian

Post by ash »

Yes, folks... it's TV's newest reality sensation. Talentless stick insects and bitchy sluts can take a long walk off a short runway!

(the parts about TV and sensation may not be factual)

It's time for a proper forum build. A community contribution. I'm going to run a series of polls to let the forum decide on the main features of a Radian guitar that I'll build and document in a thread here next year. Once it's done it can do a tour of geafests nationwide and maybe a door-to-door visit with registered participants. (ie, you the punters register to try out the guitar at home for a week for free and then pass it on to the next host)

In this first episode we'll ponder the thing that most people consider above all else - Body Shape

1. Tele
2. Strat
3. Superstrat
4. Jazzmaster
5. SG
6. LP
7. RRV
8. Precision Bass
9. Jazz Bass

Campaign for your favourite, debate the merits and possibilities, post pictures to illustrate your case. I'll post some example pictures later as required. You can change your votes and the poll closes next Wednesday.

NB: Ignore the pickguard, pickup arrangement, contouring etc. We'll get to those in subsequent polls.

Much love for what Ash does with Jazzmasters! 8)
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'm in the Precision bass very loose market, there's a hole in my collection. My escape route when I throw my 6 string in the bin after accepting lord of the strings defeat by my child. Finish & colour can be a surprise.
