I've been around here for almost a year, now, and in that time I've made quite a few mockups, some realistic, some quite a bit less...

Here is a selection of my nicest ones (read: oddest ones...)

A $$ 6-string fretless Vampyre...



A $$ 10-string Vampyre...



One of my favorites: a 12-string $$ Vampyre...



A baritone Warwick-Framus, based on the Vampyre body...



A 5-string $$ Vampyre with a Buzzard headstock...



Of course, Florin's Buzzard-Streamer...



A 6-string fretless corvette with mirrored Ps...



A double neck buzzard...



A double neck 6/12 fretless corvette...



A 10-string bolt-on buzzard



And of course, the "piece de résistance", the triple-neck-4/6/10-f-holed-NT-thumb...

Well, that was before I saw the light and fell in love with the Buzzard! :P
 
i think warwick needs to employ you in the CS dept man. the angled mockups look a lot more realistic. the work on the wood grain is so real!
 
Haha that triple neck its ridiculous! Very well put together too I might add. 8)

yeah they should employ you to make mockups to people that want one before ordering their CS bass. People could pay like 50$ per mockup (may sound a lot, but before buying a 3000$ + bass, I'd like to know if it is good looking) to the company and you would be pay per hour of work
 
Jan,if I ever ask for a mockup,look in your tip jar. :wink:

That might be tricky, that olive top is not gonna be easy, but I'll see what I can do...

Well, I think you should unscrew that lightbulb and get into the darkness with your Vampyre again, mister. :wink:
 
a few more to add to the hall:

A 7-string Vampyre:



A 7-string Infinity NT:



A Hellborg-pickup-ed Zebrano Corvette:

yup, but at this stage it's not possible, mainly because of the custom body shape, but also because of the 6-string 30" scale with guitar spacing thing...

you can say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will...

(sorry, went off in a bit of a tangent there...)
 
Hmm... Someday I`ll have my Vampyre re-finished in Nirvana Black. It looks like goth/hot chick on a saturday night....
 
a bloody headache to tune up! wait! that's wad roadies are for!
