hamfist Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) A picture paints a thousand words .... [url=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/-57-10.html][/url] The bass with this monstrosity is on sale for a mere £700 on the bay. I think there's going to be a bidding war. edit ... no idea why the picture has changed to a jigsaw !

hamfist Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I just can't resist giggling when I look at that picture. And I don't usually consider myself juvenile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That's absolutely unbelievable - what kind of MONSTER puts up a bass with such a flagrantly mismatched D-string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Trouble is, when you're playing it looks like you're hitching a lift... I remember Lindert. I think John Squire played one for a while (although I could be imagining that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I've seen worse. Much worse. Like all the pointy ones for example. Anyway, someone on BC used to have (and may still have) a Lindert Bass VI with the same headstock shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Are not Mr James Tyler's headstocks the ugliest of all? Allegedly Mr Tyler gets into a fearful bate about the subject, flying wildly off the handle when people denigrate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Those Tyler headstocks are pretty abominable. The Bongo headstock & the G&L ones with the stupidly impractical pointy/wavy bit would be on my list too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Not really much uglier than any other 4 in line headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
