TheGreek Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Man...I knew all those hallucinogenics I took in the 80s would come back to haunt me...looking at this just gave me a bad trip... That is one ugly instrument!! Quote
inthedoghouse Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 OMG, that's horrific!! What a hack job - and probably not enough room to get your hand around either neck properly :-| Quote
Chris Sharman Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 April 1st already? Surely not! I feel sick. Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 It reminds me of the scene in the remake of The Fly where the guy comes out of the machine all jumbled up with a load of cables. Quote
Bassassin Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Well, that ain't something you see every day... Functionless but demonstrating some rudimentary creativity I suppose - and don't mourn the donor bass, it was one of those Taiwanese Kay P copies from the 70s - not exactly a classic. Jon. Quote
philw Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The strings on the six string are upside down 'cause there's no room between the two necks to fit a hand without having it stuck there permanently. That's bloody fantastic that is - presumably the creative genius behind the thing only realised this small problem once the hacking about had begun. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall inside his head when the awful realisation struck. That bit of the brain that handle the "Oh FFS" emotions would have been kicking-off like the best fireworks display ever. P Quote
Happy Jack Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I think the real problem is that "[i]the bass neck has been deferred[/i]". Never de-fret to tomorrow what can be de-fretted until the day after ... Quote

itsmedunc Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 There should be a Hall of Fame on here showing the worst attempts at fashioning an instrument. This one will definitely make it into it. I still cant believe that there is somebody so talentless out there that can still breathe... Quote

Roger2611 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 By the lord Harry......some people should be kept in straitjackets to prevent harm to innocent instruments Quote
Owencf Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I expect this to happen to my coffee table should i go on holidays and lend the flat to a mate. Quote

[/quote] Or you could be charitable and assume that the genius in question was attempting to make a tapping instrument. I can't think why Messrs. Chapman, Warr, and, er, Mobius haven't yet come up with an entirely fretless tapping instrument - the half-fretless Chapman Stick just shows a lack of commitment. Quote
bonnp Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 just needs another bass neck to make it really "different" Quote
the hand of john curley Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 A little bit of sick came up when I saw that...and I started to cry!!!!!! Quote
bonnp Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 keep coming back to this, just to stare, plus having the gall to try and sell it Quote
Paul S Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Simple explanation - a one-off custom for an ambidextrous guitar player. Play bass right handed, flip it over (presumably a la ZZ Top) and play geetar left-handed. Can't imagine why no-one has thought of it before... Just given me an idea - have a 3 necked guitar, bass, fret-less bass, 6 string, radiating out like an aircraft propeller. Spin it round to the one you want to use next. Quote

Imagine taking a break between songs to retune - the place would be shut before you'd finished! As for the abomination for sale - I'm thinking "kindling" Cheers, Rich Quote
