And whats the deal with the black one? did he lose the pickguard and think he could mimic the look of a black pickguard by scribbling the shape of one on the bass? and was most likely high or let his 2 year old draw the pickguard outline?

I always thought Fenders looked cool upside down. After seeing this, I'm going to have to revise that statement.

"These guitars will be a conversation piece and wonderful stage guitars! Nobody else has one! not to mention 2!"

Hmmmm, I could think of other things, besides two hacked up crappy looking basses that might make good conversation pieces (ala, "sing'n billy bass" or "zombie garden gnome collection").

Thank god.

I find Fenders to be some of the least attractive guitars and basses I've seen, but this takes it to a whole new level

I hate how people put things like "WOW" in the title like that. How many people really see that an go, "This seller can't possibly be lying. They are obviously just so enthusiastic about how awesome this product/deal is! I HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!"...?

Yeah, I've always said there simply aren't enough righty guitars in the world. About time somebody took some initiative.

I used to claim that I didn't care how a bass looked, so long as it played well and sounded good. That yellow bass has changed my mind.
