I think you just put one over Italia, DiPinto etc. and other brands that claim to make 'race inspired' basses

I like it.

The first thing i tought of when i saw that was "arm the homeless"
Awesome bass, dude.

My thoughts exactly! Dig it

Since it's nearly Halloween...

It'd an Ibanez DB700 that had the factory paint removed with Aircraft Stripper and a 4" grinder. Paint is brushed on by my buddy Dana and has skull knows. As rediculously ugly as it is cheesy. Also one of the easiest playing basses I've ever owned.

Built this from a guitar fetish kit and painted it to resemble.a 1970s Porsche 917, have been told "it's hideous"!

I dig it...

True story... Upon opening the shipping box this bass came in, the first words out of my wife's mouth were, "did someone just slap a neck on a toilet seat or does it normally come that ugly from the factory"?

Needless to say, it's one of her favorite sounding basses and a blast to play. Yep, a butt ugly keeper.

This is one of those basses that would probably divide opinion rather sharply. For my eye, however, "no thanks."

Either didn't read post #2 or actually owned the MOTHMAN!

You don't own the Mothman; it owns you.

A number of TBers have let me know that they think the fretless yellow jazz is ugly... I like it, but I see why yellow is not a stock color.

I made this out of a Winchester shotgun shell crate. I think it's ugly in a cool kind of way.....

NOT ugly. Rustic and has character.

My friend, your bass reeks of victory.

Thanks, I like it! It weighs in at 7.5 pounds and gets a lot of comments.

It would make the players teeth look much whiter that they really are.

It looks great - nothing ugly about it!

Yellow Jazz is actually kind of awesome. I'd throw a black guard on it but that's just me.

Damn, I really want a Sprite for some reason

Really like the yellow jazz and Winchester crate bass, definitely not ugly!

Women don't like Danos...
Mine is black, a little less extravagant, but my then-girlfriend said it was the most horrible thing with strings (she was a classical guitar player) she ever saw.

Anyway, if you all want to see something really ugly, check the italian (and european) production of the 60's. Take a look here:
