Unusual 70s bass

A friend of mine posted this pic on Facebook recently and I thought it was worth sharing. Certainly unlike anything I've ever seen! Apparently it was made in 1973 by Phil Perry if that means anything to anyone.

Well, that's a bit of a puzzle.

Weren't standing up or plugging them in back then.

Kinda reminds me of Wishbass somehow...

You could open a really big bottle with that

The headstock alone is fugly enough.

I do like it though.

I would imagine that , when it came out it was very expensive . Wouldn't say that now;) dodgy porn/disco image not helping.
Not good for metal .

[Dazed]

Remind me of a storm trooper ......

1973 - I'd have dated it around 1980 to coincide with the introduction of the white XR3, which without the 1973 mentioned in the OP I've have said was the inspiration for that bass.

One day the tache will make a comeback, it is surely due another round!
