Show Your Ugly Basses

seriously *** is that thing in the thumbnail? i was going to call it a bass but i just cant be sure it is one? i couldnt be sure but it looks to be a guitar with 5 bass strings and 7 guitar strings all on one neck! is that what it is? what was the person who built it thinking? what possible use could it serve other than firewood? could you imagine trying to play the bottom string on that? my hand cramps just thinking about it
Magus that ovation bass looks pretty cool except for the headstock. is it fretless? if so has it always been that way? and how does it sound?

Actually major, i love that headstock, ...its a bit different than ya run of the mill Fender et al, without being rediculously wacky.

The sound is awesome - the power output is outrageous. Theres a gain control on the neck pup for each string

Its only fretless cos some muppet defretted it, and badly. A new refret is imminent

the instrument in the thumbenail is an Adler. I'm not saying anything other than I think it's ugly, very emphatically not commenting on anything else.

[huge sarcasm] Great, more ERB bashing. [/huge sarcasm]
Just so everybody knows I'm a four stringer, and I don’t sway either way.
