That doesn't look to me like it's from Krapmeister Kevin.

To be part of the Krappy Klub, one must own or have owned a hand-built creation by the Krapmeister Kevin.
Kevin told me yesterday that the punk bass I designed has become the #1 selling punk bass. Who else here ordered an Ormiston Morphine 2? I'm pulling the trigger on a matching second one today.
I'm still waiting to pull the trigger and order mine. I'm sure you've posted it before, but how about some gratuitous krappy-porn???
Here it is prior to a few modifications. I've since sanded the edges smooth and applied a layer of tung oil. This one doesn't have a truss rod and is fretless. The fret lines are pretty much meaningless in the cold VT winters. The bow on the neck is pretty legendary. My next one will have a truss rod and frets.

In case you haven't seen it, here's my TB post asking for help on ordering a Krappy:

I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

I can answer you first question, will Kevin make it ? That answer is yes. I like the 2 string bass, 4-string guitar idea myself. If you tune the guitar DGBE low-to-high, it's like a baritone uke, or a tenor guitar/banjo in Chicago tuning.
But overall you'd have a six-string guitar with the 2 low strings sunk an octave lower and stretched out on a longer neck.

I had a couple of really krappy basses in the past - a Danelectro (Coral?) Wasp and a Vantage of some kind. Both are long gone. Oh, well. I suck, though.
Krappy, Krappy, Krappy!
You can hear it on the song "Czerwony pas" (krappy kover of a Polish folk song) at Link Removed - it's the distorted track. I think I used the three-string neck.
And some guy who isn't me playing it:
If his band ever gets famous I'm gonna use that photo to blackmail him.
just your typical 5 string bass...
Sorry, man. You may have had some crappy basses in the past, but not a Krappy bass. But I think you should get a Krappy bass.

Now that I understand Krappy, I know you are correct. Krappy trumps crappy every time. I'll get on it.
