That's not a fingerboard style I've seen before...

[alyctes]

I doubt it will wear well.  But until then...

(I think it's hideous, actually.)

Agree, gold is quite a soft metal. Should be good for 007 theme tunes mind...

[TheGreek]

It does have the hard to come by hard case though. 

 

Probably the most desirable part of this sale.

I wouldn't want to slide my fingers along that, it looks like shellgrip. I'm sure it's actually nice and smooth, but in my mind my fingertips would be gouged to the bone.

One might say your fingertips would be destroyed?

That would be bad

Well that is different.  With that, the opening song on any set must be

 

Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to play his bass of sin
But don't go in

 

with apologies for the changed line

I bet this looked a lot better in his imagination before he ripped the frets out and applied that hideous finish. Must be a regret sale as he feels a bit sick and ashamed every time he looks at it.

"I currently have flatwounds on this which gives a sound very close to a double bass when the impedance is set low." - now ain't that a thing...

If you were going to do this to a Jack Casady then surely you'd pick the gold one?

Only if you had one.

Or maybe he's got a bee in his bonnet about his version being better than theirs?
