Morbidly obese Jazz bass

[FerruleCat]

The Goitercaster.

I had to browse that from my phone.... Now I am wondering why, oh why anyone would do that...

 

[wmhill]

I want one of us to buy it just to cut that thing open and see what's inside. Thousands of baby spiders maybe? Or some kind of mind-control device?

And how uncomfortable that must be to play...

Probably feels like playing an ovation acoustic........

 

[Tylersteez]

I think its pregnant with baby mothman basses

Forgot all about the mothman, anyone have any updates on where it's at?

 

[Ric5]

How hard is it to say It's a custom bass(a bad one).Oh yeah It's the money.

That better have some built-in amplifier.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

Someone in this thread must buy this and do surgury immediately.

All I can say is ***?

[gjbassist]

If it was on the neck I would say it was a goiter!

Leiber Invalid Link Removed guts stuffed into a jazz bass?

Really hoping someone buys this and dissects it. Can anyone here tell more about the bass itself from the headstock?

Edit: After some brief research I think the the headstock decals match those of a 1962-65 jazz, though the neck doesn't necessarily look that old. Really hoping someone more knowledgeable on Fenders will chime in here.

Ok I got through the fully underscored hard to read description and it says somewhere in there that it sounds good plugged in.

Yeah ok, no output jack visible in pictures. Anyone see how it gets plugged in?

Maybe the bowl is a pedal board and there a DI in there.

I think you have to stick it in there deep.

I will go out on a limb and say, not one part of that bass has ever seen the inside of any Fender facility. Complete fake!

Begone, you GAS inducer, you!

 

[Tylersteez]

If someone can provide me with any facts about this basses legitimacy as a fender I will buy it and make a thread full of pics for the surgery that it will undergo by Dr. T Steez

I wouldn't be surprised, but if it is, the decal job on the headstock is quite good, kinda hard for me to believe that the same person would have had anything to do with the "modification" on the back of the body. I think the at least neck may be from a genuine fender, the body could be from the same or a different Fender, or a it could easily be a copy.

EDIT: Something I just noticed is that there is no screw hole on the back of the headstock where the strap button would have been, maybe it was filled but it looks like it was never there to me.

Weirdest place ever to put your stash? (Accessible by removing the pickguard?)

Or biggest multi purpose bowl...

 

[Acoustic356]

It's real... my cousin's girlfriend's brother's sister-in-law's uncle had one...

 

[Tim Schnautz]

It may be some sort of an acoustic chamber which improves the sonic characteristics of this truly remarkable instrument.

Wait, who are we kidding? I've got nothing...

You could still be onto something. Of course it's somebodys idea, but....

Any theories?
