Basses that look fun to play

I started this thread after reading through the Guitarron thread. I think Guitarrons look like a lot of fun and they really aren't very expensive. It made me think about other basses that look interesting or neat to play.

The Guitarron has been in my MF wishlist for awhile.

Here are some other basses that I think would be fun to play. I should also add that I have weird tastes and an odd sense of humor. I have no affiliation with the companies posted.
- Ashbory Bass (http://www.largesound.com)
- Kala U-Bass ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed])
- Atlansia Solitaire (1 string bass) (http://www.atlansia.jp) (Scroll down the left column, click on Basses, then scroll down the right column & you'll find links to the Solitaire, Dualist & Trister)
- Atlansia Dualist (2 string bass)
- Atlansia Trister (3 string bass)
- Longbow American Classic (2 string bass) From several articles I've read online, it looks like this company is no longer in business. I found information here: (http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2008/08/longbow-bass-american-classic-two.html)
- Bassfish by Goldfish Guitars, but I like the Clownfish Orange finish. According to their website, it looks like the bassfish is only available either black or sunburst. (http://goldfishguitars.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=10)
- Bas-Extravaganza McDonalds Balie (Bass made from the the hard plastic table top at a McDonald's Restaurant.) (http://www.bas-extravaganza.nl/?page=bassen&BassenID=11)
- Blindworm SpiroBass (Link Removed)
- Monster Bass El Cheapo Fretless. I believe I read it's not for sale. It was made from leftover pieces. (Link Removed) Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Those Peter Malinoski Art Basses look fun. ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) It's hard to pick just one to display.
- Chiselhead Spike Bass (Link Removed)
- PalmGuitar also makes a PalmBass ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed])
- WoW Musical Instruments makes a Banjo Bass (Link Removed) There's a pic on this page but you can't click on it for more details.
- Warwick Alien Acoustic (http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=23256&cl=EN)
- Look at some of the creations at Frankenstein Guitars ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) It's hard to pick just one as a sample.
- Brian Eastwood's The Collision Bass (Looks fun but I'm not willing to pay 1500EURO for it.) (http://www.brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk/coll.html)
- I have to add that Lancer Toilet Bass that's been posted in a different thread (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=664569)

That's a lot of pics. Ok, I'm not home right now but I will come back to the thread later to add pics.

I think Wishbasses are neat too. I thought about Wishbass while I was typing Chiselhead. I guess I forgot to add it. I'm particular, I'm interested in Wishbasses' Hipper 7-String.

They generally sell fretless basses, you can request frets but you have to pay extra. Look up TB member Pappasgrind. He was kind enough to answer questions for me regarding his Wishbass 6-String. He also provided YouTube links of him test-driving the bass. (You should be able to find those links in the Wishbass club thread.)

OK, change of plans... I started posting pics in this thread but I hadn't realized there is a limit of attachments per member. So, instead, I will edit my first email to include weblinks to the basses I mentioned.

It does look fun. Except I want the Clownfish Orange finish, which apparently is only available on their guitar model.

The other thing I noticed, their guitars have built in speakers but the basses do not
