Mothman Rises from the Ashes....Again!

[sanfordandsonny]

Also upon entering the house I realized the gasoline generator was being used to run the big screen tv which was showing Jeff beck with "guess who" playing bass!
That's right a female Jason Newstead.

The $30 question is did he have any clue the buzz his bass has generated?

and DAMN - for all those screws, the only electronics are two pots?

L O L!!!!

I have to wonder how much weight it would lose if you removed all those screws from the back but they are probably useful for keeping in most of the evil.

The Mothman is actually a much nicer crafted bass than I first expected it to be.

What's up with all the screws? Does it have lots of routs to reduce weight?

Nice aptly positioned output jack.

While it was hard to tear one's eyes from the Mothman, I did spend more time looking at your carpet or blanket or whatever it is with the patches.

I just occurred to me that this thing is a film prop waiting to happen...

Sweet thanks for the pics Sonny
The fretboard is about as thick as my current neck haha
+1 for output jack placement. I thought of some funny things to say. But my humor/full range of expression is way to vulgar for this site.

Rob Zombie can't have it.

there is something suspiciously unholy about this instrument. only the semi-drunk chick with the butterfly-crotch panties (who was last seen holding it in front of a fireplace, with much "vino veritas" delight), can protect us all from its dark nature.

The former owner just posted under post #575
When I called him originally and said I saw it on a message board he said I should check out talkbass it's a funny read. I said yeah that's us.
He was pretty awesome but even though he apologized for the power failure I was more freaked out that every other farmhouse on his street was burned down.

This is my friend Aaron giving it a once over.

I'm sorry, but this picture is mis-captioned. It SHOULD read as follows:

This is the Mothman, giving my friend Aaron the once over.

What Beauty and a neck that would not cramp a persons hand. I'm glad I did not see such photos while there were still positions in the 25. I probably do not have the strength to lift that beast.

The Mothman is malevolent in the vein of "Pin Head" from Hellraiser. Each screw increases the angst and the ecstacy of the flesh trapped within.

Dude is that a pants blacket with patches? My old roommate had one in college, I here is still adding to it!

So did I see it correctly....the mothman likes to have the cord get plugged in the bum/backdoor? Crazy! Side note good read all. It made my day yesterday less stressful (bad day for me).

 

[robd]

OK, robd, I have to know who's your friend that I played in a band with???? Which band was that???

Hollywood East, I'm old jammin buddys with Mike from when he lived in down off of Rhode Island Ave in Hollywood

Matter in fact you put me in touch with him from a previous mothman thread - your mothman pictures page had H/E pics on it too. I hadn't been able to find him for about the last 10 years. We're trying to get together and have a jam - you'll have to join us when we do.

While it was hard to tear one's eyes from the Mothman, I did spend more time looking at your carpet ....

I thought the same thing when I saw the pic with the chick...

Unless I miss my guess, that it the Heavy Metal Quilt that was mentioned several pages back in this very thread.

 

[sanfordandsonny]

Yuppers it is.
Back in the days before I found out about eBay I would waste so much time on tour looking for patches because vinyl melted and t shirts will get lost or fade.
Once I discovered eBay EXpLOSIoN!!!!
And thanks to retropatching I finally found an embroidered metallica kill em all patch

This is my friend Aaron giving it a once over.

Hahahahahaha...


Aaron's on TalkBass now... and forever...


Honestly, it was Aaron who i thought of waaaay back when i first saw Mothman. Mothman was made for him to use in Oak.

Anyone know what time (est) the drawing is? I'm gonna go sacrifice a puppy.
