Heh, the first time my teenage daughter saw my amp she exclaimed "Your amp's a PERVY! GROSS!"
Kids these days...
BTW i dont want to take any credit for the next bass but i seen it played @ a show and it seems to fit the thread nicely. I just took the foto
What's with the guy in the back with the baseball bat? This pic disturbs me more every time I look at it!
Here's my fretless. Terrible paint job and no cover... maybe I can get some better pix later:

So, I just finished with this beaut. I bought a used Ibanez GSR205 for $80, spent about as much on glo-in-the-dark paint, glow in the dark doo-dads, epoxy and nails (had to basically 'crucify' the zombie finger puppets since the epoxy didn't take on them).
Also, the fettuccine fringe glows in the dark, too. I tried taking a picture of it glowing, but it didn't work out with my crappy camera.
I took it out to a gig on Friday. Lots of comments. Lots. I've got a Warwick Thumb Bolt-on that cost about $1600 new. I've gotten a handful of comments on it, mostly from other bass players. (Whoopie...) I spent almost 1/10th on the crazy bass, but got 10 times the ammount of comments then the Warwick just on Friday night!
I had little old ladies wanting to take a picture of them with me and my crazy bass. The MC of the event had me hold it up for all to see. Someone filming it (don't know who, or I'd post a link) centered the camera really closely
omg i have that bass, and it really disturbs me to see a gsr205 like this...
My SX Jazz-->Precision bass. Some people think its fugly, i think its snazzy. Regardless it achieved its goal, the mods are ALL REVERSIBLE, and the PAF Dimarzio model J sounds like a beefy P in series, and a single-coil P in parallel. Dig it with Chromes.

Is anyone else reminded of Legos by this bass?
I think the plastic tab needs a flat 2x12 Lego glued on it and the bass would be complete

I wasn't the only one!
I cut up the back plate that covers the tremolo springs on my franken-caster (useless piece of plastic if you ask me) spray painted it red (it looks slightly closer to the body paint in person) and used the original screws and holes from the bridge pickup, painted the tops of the screws red. For being a cheap as free reversible mod, I find it looks quite decent.
