WOW!!! Intensely beautiful!!

And don't listen to the folks saying (I assume jokingly) it's too pretty to take out. I gig all my basses everywhere. They are not made of glass for cryin' out loud. :) Do what you gotta' do to protect it, but it's YOUR bass to enjoy. It's NOT something you need to worry about preserving for the next owner someday. REMEMBER THAT. :)

Play the hell outa' that thing... literally... ;)

It's definitely a show piece. It may never leave my house! Mike definitely outdid himself here. Don't let the looks fool you. This bass sounds amazing!

I don't think I'd ever take it out of the house either. I'd be afraid something would happen to it. You're very lucky to have such a beautiful bass.

It's an instrument, made to be played. Take it out, play it.

So when are you swapping that temporary gold hardware for the real stuff! :ninja:

Yeah, the only thing I would say is make SURE you wipe that hardware down FREQUENTLY, cause gold pits so easily; if you don't it will look like **** in about 2 years. Unless it's solid gold, then you're good to go for several eternities...

Exactly. But make sure people wash their hands before they get NEAR it (I do). And wipe that hardware down DAILY - don't say I didn't warn you.

Cheers,

...zactly... that's what I meant about doing what you gotta' do to protect it. Otherwise, yeah, to not play this bass at every possible opportunity, would be a huge huge mistake.

People take things SO seriously here. I was just saying it's gorgeous. Of course it's made to be played. Play the heck out of it.

You may have been joking, but seriously, there's a lot of people who would be that way. You'd be amazed. They spend all that money, but then they store the thing for fear of getting a mark on it. What a waste of money and completely unnecessary source of heartache and guilt. About the LAST thing an artistic type like a musician needs.

I would think so. A bass is a tool to make music, not a museum piece. :)

Well, in this case, it can be both, but the good news is, it's "functional art", which means you can not only be blown away by it's visual beauty, but you can (and SHOULD) also yank it off the wall and enjoy USING it, too! :)
