Mothman Rises from the Ashes....Again!
- Thread starter Quadzilla
- Start date
I have been wrought with sorrow and shame (yes, shame!) since the inception of this fools journey, and all of the Mothman 25 should be, as well ....
When the Mothman decided that its earthly vessel was spent and a new vessel was needed, the earths balance began to tilt. Sure, at first it was only directed at our Brother Sonny, and mostly because he had brought a newborn life to the attention of the Mothman ... I'm sure the Mothman was expecting to occupy the pristine purity of the newborn's shell, but fortunately, our Brother Sonny laid some major funk beatdown on the Mothman and forced the vessel search to continue. The conflict was so severe that Mother Brother Sonny was enlisted to absorb the blows alongside her off-spring and was hospitalized (our prayers go out to Mother Brother Sonny for an excellent recovery)
Now, although it is known who the new vessel will be, the Mothman is currently in purgatory (non-Catholics can look it up
) and look at what has happened 
Earthquakes
Tsunami's
Radiation leaks
Dunkin Donuts burned the coffee
My baby dog had a cling-on after her morning business today
Even the ultimate hotness of the High Priestess wasn't enough to forestall this unholy disaster ..... the Mothman must be satiated and, on behalf of the 25, the Legion, and all of humanity, I'm begging EBK to allow the demonic infiltration of the Mothman into his young, vital soul.
The battle WILL be epic and, like other martyrs before him, EBK will likely lose his sanity .... it will be no different than David v Goliath, Custer's last stand, the Giants getting smacked by the Eagles, or Gary Busey's endocrine system ...
This is not the time for the 25 to cower in a corner, or for the Legion to turn their backs on EBK .... humanity needs all hands on deck ....

pics will be coming next week after the performance of the sacred rite in conjunction with the spring equinox, the holiest day that signifies the return of all moths.
Get it done so that the whole earth is not flooded, all reactors burning spewing hulks, the earth shaking, and ground opening up to swallow people to satisfy the hunger.
This post is the summation of a career built upon tapping the low and dark energy from the nether realms (no, not the DB forum) and deserves a place of its own in the HOF for perhaps the most significant post ever on TB (excluding some in the Farting at a Show thread).
holy cow what a thread. whatever you do DO NOT open any more of the access panels on the back! @_@
I wish I had been in on the lottery. now that I look more closely, it is actually a little alarming, some of the similarities between this bass and the Bat bass I'm building, which I'm now starting to wonder if I should finish building... I designed it in 5 minutes at my desk, (home made from scrap lumber), a few weeks ago, I had not seen this thing, and it's similar to other designs I'd come up with years ago, influenced admittedly by Berke Breathed's Tess Turbo axe guitar, itself a spoof of Gene's Axe bass.
at the same time I hear a strange little voice in the back of my head telling me I could make a copy of the mothman bass, which seems like a terrible idea. I promise not to, and if I start to, please shoot me. perhaps all photos of it should be deleted. er, except the one with the hot chick, in the, uh, fairly sheer lacy uh, anyway, yeah so...
I will make more weird basses though. hopefully never anything that looks as heavy as that beastie.
Here's the Bat bass thread, for those who are curious. haven't had a chance to work on it today.

the access panels on it are plexiglass so you can see if there's any evil inside...

oh yeah, Ed Friedland was a teacher of mine at Berklee. I should have taken his advice and learned to sight-read better. ah to be young and stupid again.
SONNY, LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE!!!!!

On a better note, it seems that Jens Ritter himself will be attending the DC area GTG this June. If the Lord of Moths will be done, He and Jens shall meet. (INSERT INSANE PHOTO OP HERE>>). I will inform the soon doomed Mr. Ritter that the Lord commands that he become its rightful guardian in exchange for the blood sacrifice of just one of his mortal creations to the hands of the Lords current protector.
Pffft, only a few pounds heavier than my Burns Bison.
With the inherent power in the Mothman, once EBK has strapped it on, he will feel no weight. He will be like the humans possessed by the alien slugs in The Puppet Masters, his body and mind controlled and channelled by its power until Mothman has used up and cast off EBK's useless and broken body, (at which point a General Electric rescue shall be attempted).
You don't hold the bass, it holds you. So the weight is irrelevant.

Center pic: That's Quoheleth. I designed and made that over 20 years ago. It is one piece mahogany. Is it any wonder that I like BCR. And I thought you would be wondering about the Mockingbird doubleneck, look close, both necks are 8 string. Go figure, I didn't have BCR make it, just found it used, and had to buy it. It's difficult enough finding a lefty BCR let alone that one......Lapicide

Think neckdive is a problem ? It reminds me of a cockaroach. A large, limb-consuming cockaroach. Very cool.
NOOoooooooo .... Don't let it happen... the powers of the Mothman unleashed in the personage of Jens Ritter. It could result in the unleashing of an even more exhaulted form of His Royal Mothiness -- The Ritter Lunar Majesty.
If you look closely you'll notice that this pic was taken in the lair of a lefty. There's the answer... case closed.
