Not sure if those are chrome dildos or those hand rails that pensioners use to get in and out of the bath. Either way an odd choice to stick on a bass. Impressive horns those. I bet they'll even make a Warwick bass feel inadequate. 2 Quote

Like a lot of instruments they make a lot more sense when they are actually being played rather than being viewed in isolation... That me BTW for those of you who are relatively new to Basschat... 5 Quote

SteveXFR Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 This has to be one of the ugliest and it sounds pretty nasty as well. It's Jerry Only of Misfits bass. He makes them himself but there was a company making and selling them for a short time, I can't remember who. 1 1 Quote

There's quite a few of these style basses knocking around. They're a combination of fretless and fretted. Because.......... Why take two bottles into the shower. I believe they're switchable between the fretless only section, the fretted only section, or both section at once. They actually make a lot of sense if you play a set with a lot of swapping around between fretted and fretless, but they do look utterly ridiculous! Quote

It was a 7 string with the lower 3 being fretless. After doing a bit of googling I came to the conclusion that church bassists love them but everyone else thinks they're stupid 1 1 Quote

Things I like about this: The nifty fretboard markers The pickups The bridge Things I don't like about this: The body. It puts me in mind of a prop used in a pornographic, same sex cyborg movie, set in outer space. Artwork on the body: I have no doubt that it looks great close up, but from 5 or 6 metres away, it'll just turn into a grey blur. I bet they play beautifully and sound even better, but aesthetically... not for me, thank you. Edited September 17, 2021 by rushbo Quote
