haha, fun thread.
As soon as I saw that title, I knew I had to reply eventually.
Allow me to introduce the cheese bass.
Basically, my brother got it from a friend who'd found this little old bass in a house he had just moved into. Before defretting a Westone that was going unused, we decided to practice defretting on this unplayable piece of s**t.
That done, we decided it was high time to drill holes in it to make it look like cheese.

Cauliflower???dunno that the admins are going to appreciate what you have on that bass there...
Here's a '72 Jazz I bought with a little too much character.
Wow... what are your plans for this instrument???
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
looks like vince and howard from the mighty boosh
I think my rubber ducky is appropriate for this thread
Oak plywood body
crudely de-fretted Samick neck/hardware
MIM fender pickups/pots
Formica pickguard
dollar store googly eye
krylon spray paint
oddly enough it sounds really good

Do you have more pics (maybe one of the headstock)? That bass rules! It's not ugly, just 'worked in'...

I actually really like the look of that! I might have to make myself a cheese bass.
what did you use to drill the holes?
Off topic here because this isn't mine, it the guitarist from my old band. Therefore, its a guitar! Hopefully won't offend anyone I think its terrible though!

Yes... that is a TWEED covered flying Vee with a leather scratchplate. Some history teacher lost a jacket in the construction of this monstrosity.
