I ran across this Chinese bass forum and, in Invalid Link Removed, I found a picture of my Roscoe Beck V. I guess he had to "borrow" the picture because he forgot to take a "before" picture of the bass he grotesquely mangles in the subsequent posts. I am so honored.

Also, their forum seems to have similar issues to TB. I translated part of the forum header, and it says, "Although it is "Bass World," but you can chat and consequently, in addition to not welcome Zhuyin Wen, the political and pornography also asked to stop."
 
GAS!!!

I hate traditional Chinese characters, I can't read half of them... But it seems that the forum is owned by that Jumbo guy, and that he's showing off some work on a bass belonging to Herbert (who posts in the thread as well). No clue why he posts that first picture, he even says he has "borrowed" it from the internet, and that the color doesn't match Herbert's.

Weird it is :hmm:
 
my own hope is that we all make identities there, use google translate to post poorly worded and barely coherent requests to check out our awesome personal stores of socks, underpants, bootleg lady gaga recordings and other fantastically counterfeitted consumer goods, and of course wish them all to have a very happy time.

you know, for karma. :hyper:

OMG. Yes!

I like you. HAHA
 
Hmm. This install/mod/??? looks like it was done by Stevie Wonder in a very dark room.

Who in the blue hell would mess up a perfectly lovely Roscoe Beck bass like that? :rollno: And what is with all of the schmutz on the fingerboard. :confused: Yuck.

As my cousin said after he painted his bike with a brush when we were kids: "Doesn't look half bad... at a distance!"
