[gravesbass]

just.... WOW!!!!

 

[wild4oldcars]

i bet you could play some awesome funeral dirges on that thing

So, the bridge is set too far forward.

Too far back.

Obviously, the solution is a sliding bridge, something akin to the moveable pickup on the Gibson Grabber.

If the luthier adds that custom option -- I'm in!

That thing is lit by flickering torch light!

 

[gjbassist]

That thing is lit by flickering torch light!

LOL.
Yes because it belongs in Hades!

 

[Runnerman]

Just noticed from the back photo this was originally to be a very happy whale bass.

Ya, a frickin' sperm whale bass.

 

[Runnerman]

I like all the controls that help you shape the tone.

LOL....I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out.

 

[lowphatbass]

I wonder if the builder used real owl poop as filler around the pickup routes?

 

[M.R. Ogle]

I bet it seemed like a totally awesone idea... after the first few bowls.

 

[tonybassman]

Some high quality workmanship there!

Up close that owl's face reminds me of something else:

[Smooth_bass88]

is it just me or does that look like a giant gingerbread cookie?

Lol! Yeah it's the Fly by Night special cookie bass, baked fresh, and shipped right to your door! (milk not included)

 

[punchdrunk]

weight? (jk)

 

[Right_Butterscotch64]

Well that didn't work.

 

[Hawkbone]

Yeah, that's enough of a reason to want to get away, and my thoughts are quite apprehensive

good one!

 

[Hawkbone]

I've heard of 70s pickup spacing but this is ridiculous.

they're placed by the owls' ears, which will give the best tone and rabbit finding ability

 

[petrus61]

I like how the pickup screw contours allow easier screwdriver access.

 

[R Baer]

Wonder what happens if you put four strings on it?

 

[Spectrum]

And all the basses will be kept equal, by hatchet, ax, and saw.

Eventually this ebay seller will realize that his ship isn't coming and he just can't pretend.
