I ashamed to say that a part of me quite likes that! Would be great in an old school punk band - obviously the thing is unplayable, but that shouldn't get in the way of a Sid Vicious impersonation. And who really needs the 13th fret anyway? Anything above 5th fret is showing off!

I do like this bit of the description from the web site:

[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[/quote]

You can see it at the front of [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5657&view=findpost&p=363622"]this group shot of basses[/url]

Now got realy bad GAS for "Mother of Pearl", "Rack" or "McDonalds Countertop"...

Agreed, it's just another bit of cheap design art that doesn't work particularly well as either a bass or an 'artistic statement'. Some of his other creations are really quite nice though, esp. the Jazz with the valve preamp.

The punk bass is playable, the first 9 frets are fine, and who really needs more than that? Te 'point' is explained on his site:

[quote]Doesn't it strike you as odd, that you see million selling bands on MTV dressed like French "clochards", but playing the most expensive guitars out there? What's wrong with that picture? I felt a moral obligation to change that... So, I designed a bassguitar to match the looks of those MTV-bands: rugged, dirty and rough.[/quote]
