I'm all for unique stuff and generally don't have any issue with Wishbass or any other brands but this is really.... uh... something? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bass-Fretles...item1e74bab984
Who's buying it? |

I've never played a wishbass, but for any amount in the hundreds of dollars I expect a somewhat respectable pickup route and a truss rod. Aren't those two things like slab-guitar 101?

I'm a fan of W's work, own several and all are playable with no other modifications.
If I bring a Wishbass and any other bass costing thousands and thousands more, guess which one people want to ask questions about?

My motto is to own no bass that first needs an exorcism.
