Custom RUSH "Fly by Night" bass guitar

Reminds me of an Axe bass I tried making for a High School Woodworking project -
I can't imagine playing this Rush bass sitting down. Maybe sticking a large Rush sticker on the face of a black and white Squier jazz bass would be a more fitting tribute bass- and more playable too. Yeesh.

Gotta add my .02 to the not-so-subtle lyrics references...
I checked out his "other items for sale" and found... here's an awesome irony... this http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAKING-MEMO...524?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e5b2c44c
I'm quite surprised he isn't marketing that as a custom Rush item as well, or at least throwing it in with the Buy It Now price, since Making Memories was ON the Fly By Night album. The alignment of the planets in this chance occurence makes one's head spin... or not.


(He's also got two chubby-chick clothing items for sale, and an "adult only" item too. Makes me wonder if it's a custom-made Rush-inspired dild* or something.)

Not sure why, but I feel the need to apologize for this on behalf of every Canadian.

I love Rush, but it is their fault that this atrocious thing was created. Looking at the bass in question, one could almost blame it entirely on Neil Peart. If John Rutsey stayed with the band, they wouldn't have made Fly by Night, and hence this mess would have not been created.
