Personally I love it and would buy it in a second were it not that it is missing a string or two. Then, the next time a blues Nazi gives me a hard time over playing blues on a 6 string, I'd whip that one out and lay it on them.
However, dare I say that the $800 "buy it now" price is a bit of...er... "wishful" thinking! |

Most Wishbasses get some work done to them after purchase, and this one would be especially fun to fiddle with. I think the pricetag is a bit ambitious, but he can ask what he wants. Doesn't mean it'll sell. |

| | | | I'm at a loss. Is this bass supposed to be satire, or somehow creative? Both?
Seriously, after mothman, I really can't tell the difference anymore.

GT | Wish has built quite a few of these over the years. He likes to use recycled or in this case, random weird wood. Nothing wrong with that. We have enough Fender clones. |

Turning one like this into a bass is extremely creative, whether or not it's for you is unimportant. |

I'd understand if they were really cheap and you were expected to put some work into them, but for 800 bucks you'd expect the pick-up route at least to be a lot cleaner. And by clean I mean a proper routing job. That is nuts.

Looks like he did it with a cordless drill and "eyeballed" it!
