wateroftyne Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I've just had to ask Mrs. WoT to confirm that she can see this too, as I was convinced I was hallucinating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Those are uglier than Fenders. Which is not something I say very often. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 That's quite hilariously hideous. Looks for all the world like some wonky home-made bodge job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Maaaaan, that's ropey...and $1500, too...it looks like someone cobbled it together in Photoshop, without really knowing how to work Photoshop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndldean Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 To justify those looks and that price tag, they should sound like the best damn bass ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Blimey you lot! You never see these in the for sale section, which obviously means they are brilliant, beautiful & owners would never sell......😉 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyd Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
