Whoa @ the weirdness

This is not mine, just thought it looked cool and completely unplayable at the same time...

If somebody wanted to do a sit in with that I would make it the longest possible song plus encores.

Quite a novelty...for a left handed player
That's $966.00 per bass x 3
Hmmm.... interesting but I am pretty sure I could get 2 separate awesome basses at $1,450 each

My favorite part is the leather pick guard. Pure 70's porn star. Unless you have a walrus moustacio you aren't 70's enough for this bass.

Aside from it being left-handed, it sort of looks manageable. The necks aren't too far apart.

If you're going to take the time to build and sell something like that, you'd think the builder would make it right handed.

Maybe he was building it for a left-handed player who backed out of the sale. (Just a wild guess)

And the body looks like a stretched-out Jaguar. Is this the ultimate Jaguar bass?

I saw Chris Squier playing live the right handed version of that monster, just a few months ago. He managed to play it very naturally, he didn't look as if he were struggling to handle it, but only used it in one song.

I don't understand the two bass parts. They have different necks but the same pickups in the same locations. That's just redundant, that's what that is it is.

Wait! That bottom neck is fretless, right? That makes it better. Now it's just a 23 lbs monstrosity. Notice how the seller doesn't mention how much it weighs. I wonder if it comes with a kickstand.
