WTF Episode II

[Bassassin]

I'm not usually somebody who'd pour scorn upon another's sense of aesthetics - but this has left me lost for both words and any ability to comprehend:

And somebody correct me if I'm mistaken - but that's a badge off an old Skoda on the headstock. Is this some elaborate joke I'm just not getting?

It's a bit garish, but I could do some cool things with it....

edit - you missed the V

We've just been discussing those very basses on binface

Opinions are equally divided, I quite like the 'precision-a-like' it would be great if you were in a C&W group. The sort of thing Billy Ray Cyrus' bass player might own

"What shall I do with all these little bits of left-over mother-of toilet-seat? Hmmm... [i]I[/i] know!"

It's like a bunch of random offcuts that don't fit, haphazardly slapped on anywhere there was a bit of space. Me, I actually like those Italia basses - and the old retro 60s weirdos which inspired them - masses of pearloid, sometimes entire bodies & necks covered with the stuff - but this just doesn't work at all. And a Skoda badge?

What's not to like

[paul, the]

That's almost the pickup selection I've been thinking about a lot recently.

And I like someone with a bit of independence and vision. Regardless of how zany his spectacles must be.

That big bit of plastic he stuck on the forearm chamfer can't be anything but uncomfortable. I like the pickup combo though. If you could get it cheap it could be an interesting project.

Needs more scratchplate IMO.

I think he should've covered the fingerboard and thrown in a case made entirely out of scratchplate.

And offered to send it in a box made of scratchplate...

Delivered by a van made out of scratchplate fuelled by melted scratchplates...

By a man wearing a scratchplate shirt.

[i]THEN[/i] I'd buy it.
