Ugliest Bass Guitar Award

[mimaz]

Hi all,
While cruising about on eBay I came across this Guild
and thought wow that's one really ugly bass!
The body for some reason makes me think of those
banana chew candies.
Maybe someone at Guild unwrapped several then smashed them
on the floor and said "That would make a wild guitar body
and color is right too!"
Ok everyone else post yours.

Cheers,
Douglas

That looks like SpongeBob with something stuck in his head!

Not even as a gift but I would accept the cash equivalent.

(A Series I/II with Europa body and stable neck sure, but only as a gift)

Satan called, he wants his bass back!

After giving it a few minutes thought, he decided never mind.

That bass should have warning stickers. Someone could get seriously hurt trying to play it.

 

[wujuu]

why...whyyyyyyy???? why would you make something like that....

That's nothing. The following bass is the ugliest ever. I'm on record as saying this neck and body must either:

1. Be cleansed by flame
2. Strapped to the belly of an alligator and shot into space

Call me weird, but with a little loving I would gladly play that bass. It wouldn't be pretty, but it has something going for it.

That green 9-string is pretty fowl; but there's something about it that's inexplicably appealing to me. Don't know why. I don't think I'd turn it down if it came up. And if the price was right. And if there wasn't anything else I wanted.

Ovation made some pretty damn ugly electric guitars and basses in the 70's.

Would you string up and play a large scab?

i would get that in a heartbeat, if it had less strings.

Only if it was somebody else's. Considering that my project basses looks like this:

And this in a black finish:

it's not all that bad-looking. Fortunately the pissburst finish on the Teisco bass doesn't look so bad in-person. As for that other lovely burn victim of a bass, I just think that with a good finish, some re-shaping, four matching tuners, maybe a matching veneer on the headstock and body (to hide the hideous grain on the headstock), some block inlays, and a blind audience, and it could look good.
