Smuggled from Area 51, The exoskeleton bass. It's an instrument, but not as we know it.

Sergeant Pepper did indeed teach the band to play........but "Sergeant Pepper" was an alias used by Martha, who is pictured here in the middle, standing,......however to protect her alias, she dyed her hair........and is reported to have fled to the Tyrol after this picture was created.....
The Beatles were in the Tyrol looking for her when they made "Help!"......and added the track "In The Tyrol" to reflect this.......

Matching pedals are on sale. Picks, however, have to be earned by defeating the builder of this instrument in a black metal bass duel.
I'm not sure about that… If you look closely, you can clearly see Clingons on the starboard flat spot.
Are you sure Weighty Brass is spelled with double s?
Marvin Gaye got into the act too, don't forget, when he opined, 'Martha martha - There's too many of you crying…'
That's what I'm talking about!You're all wrong. This is the one and only Martha. She serves beer at German Beerfests.
If you're wondering why Martha's so happy, she's just finished her last set for the day, all that booze is for her and she's about to pull up a pew and tear into it.
She's singing the German Beer Hymn, originally written by an unemployed German bass player...
All this was to change after Stanwyck outed herself as a jazz trombonist - named, you guessed it, Martha - during a fit of Dutch courage brought on by too many carrot juices. Peter Sellers saw her performing at the Blue Note and went wild for her. They shacked up together and a sequel was announced, with the working title, Martha Ivers-Strangelove in an Elevator.
This was all Peter's idea. Aside from his passion for cool jazz, he was a huge Aerosmith fan. Sadly, the film was scrapped and Peter and Martha split after Britt Ekland revealed herself as a flugelhorn virtuoso. Martha was devastated but that's the way it goes sometimes.
Yes......Peter Sellers was a huge fan of Aerosmith.....
Peter also invented the very first micro-bass ( an acoustic prototype).......rare footage of him playing it here:-

Nice! ^ At Oktoberfest, jugs of ale are commonly referred to as Marthas and it's not unusual for young Marthas to down half a dozen Marthas during a single session. Sometimes songs don't make any sense. It does help to be German.
Check out these Oktoberfestive Marthas! "IHA, IHA, IHA-OH!"

Yes--double s--unless you want misinformation and it's either one or three...Are you sure Weighty Brass is spelled with double s?
Dude! Are they active or passive, where's the volume knob, and do they come in man-sizes? Not for me, for the martha. You understand.
He was a bloody bass burrito. Just look at that chordature!!! They say he learnt all that stuff from Jaco - the Latvian greengrocer, who had a market stall just 'round the corner from Britt's mum's weekender in the Cotswolds, who loved covering Spice Girls hits on the spoons for his regular customers.
