Experimental Bass

Someone on Craigslist is selling a Kay bass from the 1070's (that's not MY typo, lol). Anyway, thought his description was funny enough to post...

"This Bass has been "Customized". LOL. The Marbelized enamel paint and Puffy sticker of "Slythe"--Arch enemy of the Thundercats--are part of this smokin' deal :-)

While this bass can be played in a conventional manner, it was used mainly during an experimental/noise era of my musical development. The Pickups are VERY live and can be sung/screamed into. Put the bass through delay and some fuzz and you've got quite the show stopper. The frets were removed, the neck sanded when Primus was still in their "Frizzle Fry Era". Tone knobs are fixed in place.

All joking aside, if I hadn't played operation with this instrument I'd be making some money off of it. With a little time and some money it could be restored like this fella did. Oh the foolish ways of youth"

Some people, lol.

Oh, and I apologize if I'm breaking any posting rules (like posting this in the wrong place), like I said, thought it was humorous.
