The guy is asking $10,000 for this thing with a starting bid of $3,500. The thing's got exposed electronics.

You could probably make that argument with any bass. The seller also has zero feedback.

What is it? What is it! Why, it's the best bass for metal. EVAAAR! That makes it cheap at the BIN price!

Sounds like the Splenda Slogan. It tastes like sugar because it's made from sugar. It's the best bass for metal because it's made of metal.

With a little metal working skills anyone can ask way to much money for something that's worthless

Looks cool - in an artsy way.. Nothing wrong with that.

Could be on the wall of a hardrock cafe somewhere.

Wow, that's pretty crap workmanship, to be fair. Looking at that price... perhaps the neck is filled with diamonds?

That's Aphrodites personal fretless bass. Zuess got sick of her inept whootlings and made her sell it.

I find delusional sellers quite entertaining!

I wouldn't give him any more than $6,000.00 US.

No tuning instability whatsoever...

A dysfunctional head angle with string "posts" instead of "trees". Art conquers function. It can be fixed by loosening the big artsy phillips head screws and rotating the headstock to a sane position.

"It puts the funk in dysfunctional!"

If the headstock was straight, you could ram it into the garden and use the bass to grow tomatoes or grapes....

I love the angled headstock held on with phillip's head screws. Some high quality there. those must be special order, imported screws.
