I'm personally a huge fan of steampunk artwork, and I have seen a few g**tars that are designed using that art style, and I was wondering if any talkbassers have a bass designed that way. I'm personally hoping on working on several steampunk guitar ideas, so I just wanted to see what other people have!

Their bassist plays a steampunk style Gibson T-Bass.
The aesthetic isn't really my sort of thing but I think everyone can admire the sheer hard work that's gone into these things.

I'm a huge fan of Steampunk styled stuff....... I don't know If I would have my bass done up in the style, but I would totally rock my cabs and such decked out in it...

aura about them, with all the brass appointments and the ornate styling.
