No one seems to have a problem with the Fender Boner Bass. TB has a Boner Bass Club. Here is first entry in the club.
I've looked and looked and can't find a Boner Bass Club here on the forum. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a late 80s to early 90s run of American Fender basses (just Jazz basses?) that had 2 extra frets and longer horns - thus the "boner" reference. They were also known as Long Horn basses. Well, I have a boner ... bass and was looking to start a club here. Post pictures of your late 80s early 90s boner basses here.
Below is my 1993 American Fender Standard Jazz bass. I've been the only owner and have played it for all 17 years. The only thing on it that is NOT original is the nut which was replaced around 1996 when the original one cracked at the g-string. It was replaced with a genuine Fender part.

Since I am on my mobile, I -at first- only saw the Bass side of the instrument.
I was like: "It's tacky, sure but it isn't that ba- *scrolls down* ... oh..."

I played a gig years ago and the opening band had one of those. I always thought it was pretty rad. Like a big fat middle finger to anyone who judges you by your equipment
+1 Besides, TalkBass has a no-bass-is-ugly policy. For every person that says a bass is ugly, another person will debate/argue that point.
You could certainly do an . . . um . . . interesting custom paint job on those if you really wanted to.
Wow, and I thought Warwicks were phallic. Looks like something out of the yellow submarine cartoon.
