Got to agree.

 

That body shape is minging.

[Grimalkin]

Look at the length of that head-stock...

 

Indeed, it's all fun and games until someone has an eye out

 

Then it's just a game: Hunt the Eye.

[Doctor J]

Hand made with a router location hole, of course 😂

 

It's about as Irish as as bowl of Lucky Charms but the Americans do love some shillelaghs, shamrocks and top o' the mornin' shenanigans. Even so, they'll want to have the luck o' the quare fella to get a grand for a bitsa P, to be sure, to be sure.

[Bassassin]

Never underestimate the potential for some visionary to look at a perfectly good cheapo P copy and think - "I know what would improve that!"

 

I'd think it likely a strong cocktail of alcohol & incompetence was behind this particular lightbulb moment.

 

Also "Neckplate? We don' need no steenkin' neckplate!"

Never forget, it looks like two instruments were sacrificed so the monster could live. That glued-on headstock appendage probably lived a noble life on a different instrument before the decapitation.

I like the frets... they look OK.

On the whole those budget Chinese-made paddle-headstock necks tend to be pretty decent for the money, yes.

 

 

[mr4stringz]

Looks like an ornate (and ‘orrible) beer pull with a bass attached.

Usual reaction from anyone who sees it..................

[Grimalkin]

It does stand head and shoulders above most basses, I wonder if you have to let the head settle before you tune it?

[fleabag]

Was it routed by a Bononbo ?

 

And to add .......... bleugh

Certainly their last good album...

 

And, well, that greeny thing in front makes me want to ... 🤢 🤮.

[visog]

...ting.

[Harps]

My morning was going quite well until I saw that!

[Dom in Dorset]

The first word to come into my mind upon seeing that was" abomination"

 

[Russ]

I came here expecting to see a nice Emerald acoustic bass, or perhaps an old Chris Larkin. 

 

What I have now seen cannot be unseen.

[Guest]

I'm amazed. I didn't know they did creosote in that colour.
