There can't be a rule against THIS. Pic and a description - here's mine. '73 P neck, '74 J body. The former owner apparently stripped the body, and filled the holes with wood putty, never sanding down the holes. Then he put what looks like bar table-top finish - REALLY thick. Of course it cracked all over. 12+ pounds.

Looks like !@#$@#$~. Plays and sounds like a dream - I tune it every six months, whether it needs it or not. I've had it since 1982. Feel free to call it ugly

What you got?

@SirMjac28
@BassFishingInAmerica can you top it???
 
It's served me well. The headstock took a beating on cymbals. I still have the original bridge and pickup guards. I don't know how they made pickups back then, but the new ones just don't sound the same.
No way is that ugly, just been through a few battles. If it showed up at the house, all my basses would call it "Sir" because they'd know that Grandpa had arrived.
 
Your title may get the thread on lock down, how about "visually challenged"?

It's permissible to call your own bass ugly. You just can't say that about another forum member's bass. For example...I own five basses and every one of them is ugly. The irony is that none of my basses are ugly enough to include in this thread. :mad:
