That's right...this bass was used on the Clay Aiken Juke Box Tour! For what, I don't know, and I don't wanna know!

He syas the fingerboard is proably some questionable wood and that it isn't very good quality, and that it woudl mean more to a clay fan than a musician. At least he's not trying to pass it off as some great instrument like so many ebay sellers. I've actually considered buying a really cheap ebay bass and loosenign the tension and painting it or something for a decoration becasue they are so unplayable.

It won't make anyone forget their 200 year old carved basses or even their new Engelhardts, but it's served Marshall well for a couple years or so. Of course, he strings it with very loose weed-whacker strings, so I'm sure that's helped keep the neck from snapping. But with all the stunts he does on it, it's held up remarkably well. |
