Weird Ebay bass, oh and ugly IMO

Sign in to disble this ad
Just having a look through the E of bay and came across this. I think this is one ugly bass, it might look better in the flesh.

What do you all think?

Looks like something out of a lysergic-tinged anime nightmare. Bleah.

Of all the ugly basses I’ve seen, this isn’t even bad.

I don’t care for it, but it’s the kinda thing that might grow on one.

Maybe not everyone's fur-lined cup of tea, but it's not hideous.

I'll be the first to say it... it's like an English Wishbass. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing, by any means.

Oh please, this is one of the least weird and least ugly "homebrew" basses I've seen. Grow up.

Pretty sure there's a rule here against "ugly" threads since they always turn into spitting matches.
