Aight... where do I get me one of these?

Yay! Looks like somebody finally found the solution for that bass player who wants the range of a 5-string but doesn't want to give up on staying with a 4-string.

And here I thought Kallium literally went off the deep end with those 40" upright scale basses they demoed at NAMM.​

Well, I've got a spare eyepatch I could send you.
I've also got a jumpsuit like that, but it's pink, not yellow.
You're welcome to that too, if you don't mind some bloodstains...

 

[bass40hz]

Try one of these....

I'm sorry but this is just ridiculousness on steroids...I mean holy crap. I can only hope its a bad photoshop job.

 

[Bill Whitehurst]

OK, I undersatand it could be built.
It could be strung.
It could be played.

But could anyone reach the first fret?
What are the odds of that neck staying straight?

Second picture, audience.

Ahhh, got it!

Photoshopped?

No prob. Mill and drill a 4" steel I beam, then glue a fretboard and headstock on it.

A fish-eye lens is a wonderful thing.

All headstocks should look like that so people don't complain about the pointy ones.

Obviously his eyepatch covers the injury sustained from when his guitarist used the guitar version. You can find it online, Google: Feeeeeeeeeeeeeender Precision.

That Salvador Dali-Esque bass is real, featured repeatedly on @NealBass Weird Bass thread.

 

[Coolhandjjl]

Strings are probably DB strings...

If it's in prison, probably piano wire....

I'm sorry but this is just ridiculousness on steroids...I mean holy crap. I can only hope its a bad photoshop job.

I think that's the guy from DAD

And then the inevitable plethora of TB threads: "What gig bag will fit a Joshy Cashington Mega-P?"

lol!
And the "why didn't you get the tort guard option?" threads...

Can't believe I had to click on page 2 to get to this

 

[Boristhespyder]

Where on earth do you get strings to fit that thing?

Spares from a suspension bridge? Would limit you to rounds, of course.

If that were true, the guitarist on the right should have a head as pointy as a garden gnome.

It does kinda have an upright tone to it.
