FENDER JAZZ BASS ELDORADO EAGLE SPECIAL CUSTOM WITH CASE PRE OWNED EXCELLENT CDT | eBay

Bizarre. Or maybe I'm just ill informed

 

[Stumbo]

"CUSTOM HAND SCULPTED AND ENGRAVED BODY"

Looks like someone did a George Barris on it.

 

[Oddly]

It looks like it melted a bit.

 

[Gibsonguy696]

It is a custom bass not a model so its very unique i think

But the title is "Fender Jazz Bass". Seems not.

Never ceases to amaze me that folks go through all that trouble with making the body look all fancy and then slap a craptastic neck on it as if it was an afterthought.

 

[GreyBeard]

Looks like something Pablo Picasso might have designed.

 

[Stonetown Lows]

Really kind of weirdly attractive treatment, especially the color and pickguard combo. But then the bridge is hanging off the body on the right. Looks manufactured in some ways. Cool!

Usually artists more than players?

^^^ Especially the placement of those strap buttons. Forget neck dive, how about body flop?

Or Dali.

 

[LUCE]

Fugly.

 

[swafran]

Someone went through a lot of work to get a body that ugly =)

 

[mcarp555]

I think I'd like a standard, non-carved body that color, with the maple neck.

Somebody with a Dremel tool said to a buddy, "Hey, watch this!"

 

[40Hz]

Not everybody who can afford a router or a rototool should be allowed to buy one.

Somebody with a Dremel tool said to a buddy, "Hey, watch this!"

Right after he said, "Hold my beer!"

 

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

Prefer a 60s reissue jazz bass...

 

[Old Garage-Bander]

Or Dali.

That was my first thought as well.
Fender Salvador Dali Signature Bass

I note that the description reads that the "country of manufacture unknown". To me, that means "buyer beware".
