Who wakes up in the morning and thinks, "I know, I'll cross my drawer full of discarded bass guitar bit with my Kids old Thunderbird 1 toy. I'll make sure the hybrid is completely unplayable for anything other than two thirds of a Status Quo tune, take a picture of it in a room which looks like a cross between a boudoir a shed and bang it on Gumtree for £40"? I'll tell you who... Kev from Sittingbourne.

Clearly someone's had a go at making a copy of this:



This is a guy from a Danish band called D-A-D - this bass is apparently also a 2-string home made job. Looks like it's a cover in front of the neck so it's accessible.

Cant see it being particularly comfortable to play, but people sometimes do go to remarkable & impractical lengths to look like an utter gonk.

Lol, so the strings are A and D then? Jon, what you don't know isn't worth knowing!

Correction - it sounds like they are probably E & A. The band's name is an abbreviation of "Disneyland After Dark" not a possible bassline. The man in the photo is Stig Pedersen and according to Wikipedia

[color=#0000ff]Stig's bass guitars only have two strings or three strings. He found out in the late 1980s that he only used the E and A string when he played, and made it his mark, to have funny, good looking basses. He is also seen using a one string bass at gigs (only one string away from an air guitar). Stig designs his own bass guitars based on his own ideas and imagination.[/color]

Wow. I think the full suit of armour would have been more flattering, if a little hot on stage...
