I wanna see some unique basses

[remainthesame]

I apologize if this has been done before but I'd really like to see some unique basses. I know there is a "show your basses" thread but I want to see the oddballs. I've seen enough P-basses, I want to see something you think I've never seen before.

This Thread is for just that very thing. Some are not as unique as others.

Ha… oddballs. You're probably not a frequenter of the Steinberger Club thread, so this bass belongs also here

Steinberger XQ2TA, with a Transtrem, one of six (XQ2Ts) ever made:

I built this PJ franken-bass like 6 months ago and stuck in some hot old 80's EMG's I get a lot of comments about it when gigging with it. It was a no name ibanez ripoff made of a cheap light wood (I believe it only weighs 5 lb's or so) but the sound/look is neat. Here are a couple pics and 1 during the build.

This is unique in many ways. As a side note, something is either unique or it's not. There are no degrees of unique.

Ain't that the truth.

In particular:
Solitaire (1-string bass)

Dualist (2-string bass)

Trister (3-string bass)

But you know, you could just combine these 3 and get a triple neck instrument from Krappy Guitars.
