my gosh, what are you supposed to say to that?

 

Whomever made that appears to have had some understanding of soundhole placement and resonances like Kaman of Ovation.

Resonant as that bass may be, the proclivity to feedback of many hollowbodies and high volume scares me off.

I wonder if he really meant that horn treatment or if he made a wrong turn with the saw and tried to make the best of it.

 

Exactly my thoughts too. Like the Godins too.

Which means the body must be semi-hollow. Still a bit expensive though. But not a bad looking bass in my books.

 

That's a whole new kind of ugly.

 

your right.
Its sooo ugly thats it oooogly.

Sorry.. but im kinda traditional i guess.. i dont like oddity's in basses.. well much less anything.

 

Here's another Ebay abomination:

That bass looks like it has a disease.

 

Strange - the seller said that he took a Japanese Jazz Bass copy and modified it. Weird holes in the pickguard - I believe that if you remove the pickguard the bass would look better as it looks like it has a reasonably nice top. Short-scale neck too. Interesting bass.

 

That's two more for Mimi.

 

I love birdseye maple, but that bass is just wrong.

The body looks as if it were cut by someone smoking crack while on an acid trip.

 

Oogly? lol. It's so true. I was leaning towards fugly but you sold me on Oogly!

 

Guy from The Water Boy "That brings me to my next point kids...don't smoke crack."

 

All I can say is:

Oh the humanity!
