I guess to each his own? Have a look!

And to think I was hesitant to put position markers on my bass.

Wouldn't that bass guitar neck be smacking against your head?

I play EB so I wouldn't know but is it common to have an EB screwed to the side of a DB? What is the gas gauge looking thing near the bridge? Oh, I get it, this is a joke.... right?

Jazz....One would think, I'm still trying to figure out the pressure gauges.

RWP....no joke, go to www.gruhn.com and check out the bass inventory.

I've seen that bass on here before. I think it was on eBay or something. Looks like someone actually paid money for that thing!

Dear God NO

Ow, my eyes. I'd like to know what the 'finishing touch' was- you know, that 'Oh yeah, that's what it needed. Now it's done' item.

That would make a little more sense if it was for a southpaw. Only a little though.

Rockabilly heaven or hell???

That is about the most extreme rockabilly treatment that I've ever seen! Maybe we can get a comment or two from Brent Norton. I'd like to see some sort of gear shift lever on this beast and maybe one of those chrome footprint gas pedals for a tailpiece. Would the psycho bass player in Hank III's band play something like this?

Maybe the EB neck could pivot and swing down....::shudders:: I don't know what else to say about that. And as far as being a rockabilly/psychobilly bass, wth is an EB neck doing anywhere near that?
