If that singlecut Thumb isn't 14 lbs., it is probably a great bass!

Wow... not impressed at all.

The first one looks like a porn star. Stars... flames, and painted f-holes like the Ibanez PGMs (Paul Gilbert Models).

Is the first one Bootsy related? Didn't they unveil a new Star-Bass for him at NAMM? Maybe that's another Bootsy-model.

They also had a Jimmy Earl Jazz inspired bass that looked very nice. Smaller body, easy playing neck, and....................
SIDE MARKERS THAT HAVE LED'S IN THEM THAT LIGHT UP!!

The first bass is the bootsy signature model.

I dont see what the big deal with the last bass is... its basically just a Streamer Stage I with (chrome?) pickguard

I think Steve Bailye's model is pretty cool.

The Bootsy sig model has a pretty stupid paint scheme IMO - why would they paint F holes, if 1 knob goes right through the right F "hole" ?!? Looks silly & certainly not high-end...

Any pics of the hollow bodies they had last year? I'd like to track down one those some day.

The only one you like looks like it was produced by Fisher Price?

People think Warwicks are ugly, yet they drool over the Ibanez grooveline basses?

What made me grimace was not the looks put the price tags. $5500 for the thumb. Ugh. And the Bailey Sig is 2.5K
