Feminine, But Hey ... It's Medium Scale

[selowitch]

Rondo has a 32" medium-scale bass. Link Removed. I guess the thing to do is purchase another body to match, then strip the back of the neck and the headstock.

It'd be a heckuva project, but you might end up with something comparable to a 80s E Series Squier ... with a bit of luck and patience.

Some of my best friends are femenine and ugly....

Exactly. I didn't say I wouldn't buy it!

 

[Jazzcat]

Oh, my.

I thought they used to have that bass available in several variations, without the GR branding. Maybe they'll re-release the model after the pink ones sell out.

...and what's with the headstocks on all the other basses? They all look like they need another trip through the CNC machine...that is one hokey-looking headstock.

Come to think of it, some of my best friends are medium-scale, too.

Yeah, it's a pretty cheezy bass, but with enough stickers on it....

relly thought this was gonna be a Courtney Love thread

Ugly? Nah... It might be a feminine pink, but it's really not ugly at all.

For some truely weird basses, check out this thread:

You gotta get a few pages in before they really get seriously bizarre. For example:

This one's my favorite from that thread:

But seriously, who here is man enough to gig with that stock Gypsy Rose? It might not fit at a Country gig, but .... metal?

Just a reminder guys that the rules here state that "if you want to talk about an ugly bass, make sure it's one of your own, or it will be deleted."

Thanks

I'm man enough to gig with that at a deathmetal concert.

 

[Ubersheist]

Great one!

I'd do it in a second. Seriously.

I tried to buy one of those Heartbreaker basses from Daisy Rock. I found this one online with a pink and purple leopard print. I was going to buy it, but I was pretty broke:

Instead, I went and got the crappiest bass I could find that was playable, and painted it up as crazy as I could. Here's my Ibanez GTG205 (I think it's the GTG series, I can't remember or even tell from the headstock anymore):

Yes, I play that thing out at just about any gig anywhere.

 

[Lo-E]

Oooh! Blowfish!

You know, I'd rock a Daisy Rock Rock Candy bass, especially the silver sparkle.

Hey, several more color choices for the Schecter C-4. Just rip out the electronics and pickups, put a better bridge, and you'd have a sleeper.

I wanna gig a violin bass in my hardcore band

A possible alternative:

Dean Custom Zone

 

[lunarpollen]

I would totally gig with that Gypsy Rose bass, assuming it sounded good and felt good in my hands. I think it looks nice!

If 32" is medium-scale, what is short-scale?

glad to see the thread police showed up to tell us how to behave.
