A Real Man's Jazz Bass

[JimB52]

Came across this picture of a Jazz Bass built by John Gray.
That's a regular 34" scale Jazz on the right. Anyone have any information on the beast, such as scale length, etc?

Looks like that guy was tired of hearing people b!tch about weight, and wanted to shut them up!
"You think yours is heavy, try this!"
Shame it's not a 5 string.

Never seen that before, but it looks like it was made waith a standard upright bass scale length (about 41.5"). Interesting idea...

Hulk Hogan's bass maybe?

 

[JACink]

Try this for a travel bass!!!!

Is this to be played upright?? Or only by very large people??

Forget about Hogan, that's the Hulk's bass when he's angry!

You know what they say about dudes who buy larger "toys."

Good eye, Slopeshoulder. Early '66. With your user name, seems like you might have some experience with the beastie. Check out that volume knob.

Phalex springs to mind. Or chuck norris.

That bass should have bushy hair, drink ale, fart, burp, and own a shotgun or two.
