I agree. I think all the people who are writing comments like "this bass has been ruined forever and should be put out of its misery" are way off the mark.

S.P.

other than that its mint.....

I would like to fight whoever did that to a perfectly nice Ric.
Isn't there some sort of International Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Basses?

After all, it's a an Azureblue lefty with a chainsaw ripcord on the back in the show... blue, lefty Ric... "chainsaw model"?

HAH! I was looking for this post! It's obvious that there are no Anime fans on TB. That is the Vespa Woman's bass! Have to see the back to verify the 2 stroke pull cord, but without a doubt that thing came off some Cosplayer's back. Wonder what they got for the Scooter? And wasn't there an EB or a "V" bass in the final episode?

If you look closely at the headstock? See if you can make out the black marker lines that appear to be the "cut here" marks.
