I like it,but either the back of the body should be coloured or the neck shouldn't be.

[TRBboy]

It's ok but not really my cup of tea, plus I bet I could probably buy about 6 decent basses for the cost of it. Does anyone know how much these are? I found a thread on an american forum from 3 years ago which said they're about $9k!

[MikanHannille]

From the site where I found this doesn't say how much. It only says "Please ask for price".

[Grand Wazoo]

It is a part of their artist "private stock" series designed for Gary Grainger and I don't think you can get it for less than 7 grand if you are so inclined.

Whilst I generally like the GG basses this one has to be the fugliest they've made

I think with a different neck it would be 1000% nicer

Avoid.....don't snog and never marry!

[Lfalex v1.1]

They [i]nearly[/i] got it right!
If I subjected it to my "de-crassifier", the following changes would be made;
BLACK hardware.
Natural neck, but body-colour matched headstock front face
Lose the scratchplate!

Its a private stock so someone spec'd it like that - Dont blame the 'shop for making it, blame the odd person that wanted it like that....

Isn't this the one that was for sale on Thomann not long back...? £5k or something similar. My guess a cancelled order.

There's a lot of Private stock that is freakishly odd - but then there's some pretty odd folk out there!

It's an incredilble bass but that has been well and truly battered by the fugly stick - but then I don't like purple basses anyway.

If you want so see how utterly gorgeous these can be, go to the PRS website, go to Private stock and check out #1607 -
Drop dead gorgeous!
The person that ordered the OP one here should be taken outside and fed to the poor.......

Pretty ugly. Do t in black, and get rid of all the knobs and you've got a nice looking bass

[Soloshchenko]

I hate it but often feel that way about how PRS stuff looks. Saying that I nearly had to cast that aside once when playing a cheap s/h CE guitar because it was such an incredible thing. Sounded better and played better than anything I've ever played. I didn't buy it in the end.

[WHUFC BASS]

Is that the price in the bottom right hand corner of the tag ?

[tommorichards]

It seems like it was designed for a guitarist who wants to dabble in bass. All of the above that apply to how ugly it is.

But now i feel bad for the bass because its being called ugly. What about the ugly duckling.....

I had one of those.

or was it a Morris Marina.



Ok, Ok, I'm going.

[Low End Bee]

Wouldn't look out of place in Tina Turner's house.

[Golchen]

Not for me. If the neck wasn't the blue finish I could almost bear it.
