Is this some kind of joke? If so can someone delete this - it's just f**ked up my computer and got all the IT geeks excited.

Thats what happens when the plans are in cm, but the luthier works in inches

Shame, such a large bass should have more strings lol lol ;o)

i like wide string spacing,but not quite that much

I've seen this advertised before by them ........ The bits that get me are:- i) it works..... ii) it has a case?

These guys must've been out the back of the shop smokin' when they came up with this idea.....

of course, the headless design makes it neat and compact.

[elom]

could you play it as an upright? That would make an impression!

That bass was made for someone with a lot of time on their hands -- like me, even posting about it.

Or, for those of us who are old enough to remember, they must have been watching that 60's show Land of the Giants, or the Kenny Everett 'big hands, praise the lord' sketch

They must have been listing that for a year now, surely no-one will buy it, it's been up on ebay so much.

I'm sure someone somewhere will want it - its just they're probably locked up somewhere at the moment.
