What is this supposed to be?

[Buzz E]

It'd be fun just to walk into a GC with it and say "Hey, can you set this up for me?"

 

[wmhill]

it's a good thing that there's a rule about ugly basses................

 

[Jughead6]

"Honey, I destroyed the bed frame and built this awesome bass guitar thingy!"

They'd probably call the cops on you!

We're not allowed to use the word "Hideous" here... right?

 

[bholder]

Not regarding basses that someone else here owns. I'm not exactly sure of the case of a delusionally optimistic ebay seller, though, I think we have to go to the judges on that one...

 

[Clef_de_fa]

Good intention but very badly executed ...

 

[PeteBass51]

Sometimes just reading the comments here can turn a crappy day around!!

 

[bluesblaster]

since he's not selling it here Im all in on the hideous thing. Might be a canidate for the modern art museum, they seem to enjoy this sort of thing

 

[Ewo]

Can't be a real Fender. Truss rod adjuster's in the wrong place...

 

[Son of Wobble]

Looks ouchy and pokey.

 

[callofcthulhu]

I like it.

It kind of looks more like a first prototype than a finished product, though.

I definitely wouldn't pay $10k for it, but if I were in a steam punk band I might make an offer in the mid hundreds.

 

[artechoke]

Does anyone remember the fish bass? Same designer?

 

[obimark]

I like the wrought iron fence piece used for the body. Sweet.

Me too. I'm not in the market to pay what he is asking, and it's not quite finished, but he did a unique thing. If it played half decent and I needed a stupid bright tone I'd rock it on stage.

Well, don't be hasty, I think I might see a bit of Buick fender in there...

 

[Urosh]

Yeah, it looks weird and unique, but for that amount of money I rather buy 50 or 60 used Squiers, Yamahas, Epiphones, Ibanez basses etc.

 

[MD]

Yes. Mount it horizontally on a hinge and you have a gate. Wouldn't help keeping the hound in the yard though.

 

[Benthoven]

Being a former owner of a Kramer Duke bass, with the aluminum neck - DON'T BUY IT if you want it to ever stay in tune. You'd have to stop and re-tune this bass between the head and the bridge on every song.

 

[quickfix]

I've a penchant for steampunk. Hmmm...I wonder what could be done. Some gold anodizing, maybe a few brass gears...
