Prosebass Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 All this "porn" is well and good but I feel we need an antidote hence "THE ANTI PORN LEAGUE" bit like the anti nazi league without the Nazi's.... Show us your battered grungy , worn , crap, antiquated wonderments. I may even put a small prize up for the worst item of kit, (it will be small don't expect a bass ) Quote
bennifer Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 If I hadn't just packed my cab in the car for a long journey i'd post it up. Its torn, shredded and battered. Its got cat claw marks down the side of it. It looks amazing. It was sold to me as some early trace elliot beast, 2x15" speakers and sounds great. I'll post some when I unpack it on weds The most totally ruined item i've ever seen however is this orange cab... Quote
Duarte Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I've got a horriffic westfield bass lying around somewhere. It's f***ed Quote

Let's face it, if they'd been up to their arses in nazis they wouldn't have been much of a league now would they? Andy Quote

Andy[/quote] Ah yes...but without the Nazi's they wouldn't have had a cause, so no need for a league, bit self defeating I suppose Quote
OldGit Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Great idea .. I've got an antediluvian Peavey Combo 300. It's the bass combo equivalent of a rat bike or James Taylor's primer '55 Chevy in Two Lane Black Top. It looks, and smells, like it spent the last 10 years in a damp cellar ... which is precisely where it was until I liberated it. However it works perfectly and sounds just right.

Prosebass Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Come on folks theres a prize in this one for what I consider the most grungy piece of kit or bass.... Get them pictures in..... and a bump.... Quote

waynepunkdude Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I present the Punk bass On/off switch no volume on tone to bugger round with and 2 strings 1 is missing at the mo. Quote
Darkstrike Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) How about this punk bass, again not mine, but this time fully functonal. More pic's soon! EDIT: Here they are! All this done on purpose, by a luthier! Edited September 10, 2008 by Darkstrike Quote

BigRedX Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) I like the technical information: [quote]Neck: 2 pieces of maple (used to be one piece), with metal reinforment Fretboard: maple, nothing and maple again Frets: 9 pcs for playing, other for decoration Scale: 34" Body: trash with glue and metal strips.[/quote] For those who don't know this bass is from [url="http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl"]Bas Extravaganza[/url] and unfortunately it's sold.

BigRedX Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I nearly bought the fanned fret bass, but spend so long deciding that someone beat me to it. Still fancy the Macdonalds Countertop bass Quote
Darkstrike Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah, that one actually looks insane, a lot better than you'd expect from just hearing about it. The aluminium jazz look cool too, but I'm thinking of the fretless metal board mainly, too expensive though. Quote
