Mothman Rises from the Ashes....Again!

That's creepy, not badass. Sorry.

It's only creepy if done without a sense of humor or grain of salt. I remember from another thread, where the owner came out of the woodwork to explain the pics, that she volunteered to pose for the pictures. Does that border on some weird taboos? Yes. Does that mean it's creepy or negatively motivated? Noap!

But it's all irrelevant. We know the moth has his dusty feelers deep within her consciousness. She, the owner, the luthier, are all but pawns to his insectoid evil.
 
We need to stop questioning, and start encouraging.

So who else is gonna be getting ladies in their lives to pose with their basses in their lingerie?

TalkBass: The Swimsuit Edition.

See what the Mothman is doing? It is distracting us from thinking about it. It knows that we know.
 
If I lived nearby, I'd pick it up. The Mothman is one of the most popular basses ever! There is only one. Bassists will identify the quality of your character at once. Gasps of excitement, anticipation, and maybe a certain degree of fear.

Just think if you play it on stage. (Oh, wait. I meant If it lets you play.) Especially if no one knows you own it yet. If I owned it, I would cover it with a bed sheet until your group's set begins. Then remove it. You will immediately identify any TBer in the audience. (I don't think any other musicians are going to recognize it.)

Edit: Wait a sec. Do we really want to combine the Mothman AND the element of surprise? The result could be cataclysmic.
