like the title says what is the weirdest bass setup you've ever seen? did it have way to many pickups? did it have the neck from another brand? just an overall weird setup. post pics if you've got them

Bootsy Collins' bass always seemed weird to me with all those J pickups lined up.
I suppose he's a good bassist and all, but his bass looks cheap and gimmicky IMO.

I met a bassist who used two powered Mackie subs as his rig.

He used to run each pickup to a different amp and through different effects!

That setup sounds like complete chaos!

But hey, it worked for him!

I know Tom Waits was playing with an invisible bass, and the sound somehow came through his mouth :S. Really interesting...
