Taxidermy Bass, WOW!!!

[ELG60]

I dunno . . . It kinda lures you in.

 

[JES]

The pun value alone makes it a worthwhile project for the luthier. Someone with a lot of disposable income and a love for dad jokes will be very happy.

edit: nothing is funnier than commitment to the joke, and this one is all in.

 

[fourstringdrums]

Once you play it, you're hooked.

I know a store in Springfield, Missouri that might sell it.....

Ha! Which one? I grew up there. In fact, my Uncle started Springfield Music and owned it for many years. I was in band with a few of the Palen boys.

I'm pretty dumb so it took a few seconds to realize it's translucent.

I'm hooked.

Yeah I despised it momentarily until I realized it wasn't a painting or graphic

 

[Kukulkan61]

It smells like fish but it tastes like chicken

Zactly! and there's this tiny voice saying "I don't know, maybe I could rock that!" Maybe not every day but at the right gig... am I wrong?

Definitely not wrong, stage lights would really work with that thing!

I agree!

 

[GretschWretch]

At least it isn't a rat. Or an opposum. Or a cat's butt. Or a piece of a human.

But yeah, no thanks.

You'd have to have a large hollow body to fit an entire possum on there.

 

[arginator]

Yeah, I don't get it. Sure, it's funny, and I can see that whoever made it is a talented craftsman. But $3,200? For a gimmicky P bass?

Hope they find a bass player who's REALLY in to fishing.

 

[Ruknrole]

I like it. If you gig the Florida keys it would fit right in.

 

[MegaSwing]

I'm not sure I'd ever want to be in the same photo with it.

I work just a few miles down the road from Bass Pro! Haha

 

[MVE]

I don't know about the Bass but I love the Bass.
I mean the wood and epoxy hybrid not the fish.

It would be awesome to have a disco bass with different color leds suspended in the epoxy like discotheque light show.

 

[Diminishedfilth]

I used to worry about my cat using my basses as scratching posts. She'd probably try to eat that one.

I love fishing but that bass is not for me..

the pickup is routed into the fish.
if you remove the pickup can you see inside the fish?

I was much happier before I read this comment. The fish inside the bass already slightly grossed me out as it was, but now I have to live with the fact that some person out there routed a pickup cavity out of a fish.

It would give the tone more guts.

 

[fourstringbliss]

At least you'd have a snack if you got hungry at the gig...
