Well what can you say about this?

Would you buy an instrument that carries THAT name?

[VitaminG]

wouldn't bother me. The name isn't that bad. It's not like they're called RainbowBrite Guitars or something.

HMMMMMM........pyramids. Interesting.

That is a pretty cheesy name. On a similar topic, it amazes me how anyone can find a product called a "Crate" appealing.



Hardly conjures up an image of quality.

There are some really stupid names for products out there.

That pyramid stuff sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. I'd like to see some scientific documentation that explains what it does, and why it does it. Until I do, AFAIC it's just a stupid gimmick.

I've seen sound proofing panels in studios with the same pyramid configuration. I don't know the science behind it, but it must do something other than just look cool.

That's probably where he got the idea from. I don't see how it would help in a bass body. In a studio, isn't the idea to stop reflected sound? How would that help a bass, since if it wasn't hollow to start with, it wouldn't have that problem. What's wrong with solid body basses? I'm not claiming I know anything about this, but it sure sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, and you'd think it there was any scientific basis for it, the guy would provide some info. I say gimmick.

I'd buy an instrument with that name. Why not?

Maybe he stole the idea from Charvel's Custom Knob Shop!

And you would be correct.

A semi-hollow doesn't have a large enough body for sound to reflect back into the pickups, which is the only consideration in this case.

I have a Wreck V guitar, but made of solid wood. Unfortunatelly, can`t say a lot of good things about the guitar.....
