Also, if you didn't hold the bass right, part of your right arm would go into the other evil dimension pick stealers also liked to bite, and not in a fun, sexy way! Sucked. I really don't recommend inter-dimensional portholes as a finish for bass guitars.
Good thing the finish wasn't on the back.

Enough talk, it's time for bad bass finish idea ACTION. I just bought this so I can cut it up and glue the fabric to a bass body.

Bue mod podge.

I had both finishes on one of my bass. Both were ugly

Indeed, a bad idea. You want to use high-quality cured ham for your bass finishes.

I'd totally play blue argyle.

How about a neon rainbow sunburst, like the kind of neon that hurts the eyes?
