Not a good bass for you players who like to hide behind your bass..

Not at all!

 

Funny.

I like the design myself.

Looks like Mark Hoppus could never play that when he is naked. Might loose a few vans

 

Damn. There's no way in hell that i'd pay $1150 for that.

 

Wow, that's a super cool bass!!!!!!

That's actually the very first bass I ever owned, a Dan Armstrong lucite body fretless. 'Xcept mine was pre-Ampeg. That was the one and only bass I've ever worn out. By the time I got done with it, the rosewood fingerboard was a complete basket case. I was slappin' that thing before I knew what slappin' even was! That was before I knew that fingerboards could be repaired or replaced. I finally traded it to a guy for an ounce of... oops, can't say that.

BTW, for those of you in the know, this bass was made famous by Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. I think he had the fretted version though.

 

Jack Bruce used to play one just like that- see the pic in the Bass Heroes book.

also check out the bass player for Goldfrapp-
Charlie Jones (formerly with Page & Plant) plays a clear plexiglass P bass built by Nightingale Guitars.

 

$1150 for that bass is probably a fair price considering that it's a true collector piece.

 

I like it.... but I am shallow...

Cool bass!

Very heavy bass, literally. They weigh a ton.

 

Dave Grohl has a guitar-version of that. GOd, I hate him.

True... It's just not my favorite shape in the world.
