I've just had to ask Mrs. WoT to confirm that she can see this too, as I was convinced I was hallucinating.

my mate today was recalling his sad sorry tale of an unpleasant extraction from deep within his manus glandus which involved a surgical implement not unlike this abomination in reverse order.

Those are uglier than Fenders.  Which is not something I say very often.

[Bassassin]

That's quite hilariously hideous. Looks for all the world like some wonky home-made bodge job.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder,, I will not be holding that!  Euch! But each to their own I guess.

so they made an ugly Jazz bass clone, with a few extras. But it is butt ugly

 

and this is a RE design?

lol this is so ugly , but not as ugly as an MM or Ric

I'm thinking neck dive.

[musicbassman]

Jeez, I wouldn't want one of those if it was offered for free.

I like the care that was taken to make sure the top line of the pickguard doesn't even run parallel to the strings.

Nearly as mind numbingly sh*te to look at as Windows 10.

[Muzz]

Maaaaan, that's ropey...and $1500, too...it looks like someone cobbled it together in Photoshop, without really knowing how to work Photoshop...

[Ndldean]

To justify those looks and that price tag, they should sound like the best damn bass ever.

[oldslapper]

Blimey you lot! You never see these in the for sale section, which obviously means they are brilliant, beautiful & owners would never sell......😉

[martthebass]

Oooooooh, even the 'mother' would have trouble loving that monstrosity.

[Cato]

Could be useful for gardeners.

They could keep one up in the allotment shed. Handy for getting in some quiet practice and also for digging potatoes.

I think there's a consensus building here....

Could we be on for a BC first?  Everyone agreeing?

[Hellzero]

Surely a flower power child to build flower pot basses.

You really are a funny old lot. The Fender Precision, and its stable mate, the Jazz, provoked pretty much those same reactions from the staid, fuddy-duddy bass players of the day when they were announced. I don't think many, if any at all, were saying 'Now there's a nice-looking bass'. The terms of reference were very different; folks had the idea that 'bass' meant 'upright double bass'. Now, it seems, 'bass' means 'Fender', and any deviation from the terms of reference seen as 'ugly'. As an object of beauty in its own right, I'd put up very few bass guitars; even very few instruments at all. Bongo, anyone..? Firebird..? Seriously..? Amorphous slabs of painted wood; nothing graphically exciting in any sunburst (maybe, perhaps, a violin finish on a semi-acoustic, if I stretch a bit...). Still, it's healthy, I suppose, to pitch tar and feathers on anyone trying to break the mould, but those wishing for innovation and progress seem hard to please, somehow. Yes, it's ugly. In exactly the same way, and for exactly the same reasons, as most basses are ugly.
You really are a funny old lot.

I'm pretty conservative in my bass-taste but I don't think they look too bad. What puts me off a bit is the way that the 'upper bout' (i.e. the horns) is wider than the section where the bridge is. But I can honestly say that they're far less offensive to my eyes than some of those giant woody 6 strings with curly horns that look like they were designed by/for elves.
