I don't really care for signature gear but I'm kinda intrigued by the instrument itself. I wonder if Bilt is going to plan to start offering more import models or if it's a one off thing for this weird collab. A standard Revelator starts at $2500 and with some of the options/upcharges they've included on this model it'd be well over $3000.
Of course standard models also use mastery bridge/vibrato, Lollar/Novak/Fralin etc instead of no-name pickups, Kluson instead of "Kluson style" tuners, and so on and so forth

I like the man, his humor, and his attitude about TGP foolishness, but he doesn't play much I like to hear or make much I want to buy. That said, I love the Morning Glory circuit. He didn't change much from the original, but what he did change was just right.
I've never liked that guitar though.

I'm not going to make a new thread but Eastwood just released a semihollow bass vi that is 1000% more GAS inducing.

It's like they are daring me to buy one and install something interesting in the middle position.

My favorite thing about this is the firebird pickups.
By "my favorite thing" I mean the only thing I like

I haven’t experienced enough Josh Scott to have a super strong opinion on the guy.
The couple of his videos I’ve seen do have a vaguely ‘sad-sack, demoralized high school teacher’ vibe that I don’t find especially compelling. But that’s also not enough to make me want to start a lifelong blood feud…
Evaluated in isolation, I think the guitar looks cool. White + primary color = ‘70s sci-fi vibes, to me. Of course, that aesthetic doesn’t really match dude, or his brand, as far as I can tell. So, once again, I say unto you…

You can use the "ignore" function for this kind of thing

And yet...
Why must neck-diving designs be perpetuated? Have bass-designers learned nothing in 3/4 of a century?
I think I'd rather pick up a kit for that style of bass and build it,
or go here and get a neck-diver of another stripe:

Seems Josh's business model is to joke about products and see what lands. Anything that garners any interest and...
It's for sale and he's capitalising upon it. Good for him, I guess.
If it gives Bilt a bit more business, even better.
Personally, I'd rather spin my own partscaster together with all the features/colours/hardware/ideas etc that I want — there aren't too many signature-instruments that make me want to strike like a Northern Pike. Alan Caron's signature FBass models appeal, but even then, I can have them tailored more to my taste — well, if I had that kind of money. My parts-casters will have to be built from cheapest of the cheap.
