would YOU pay $6000 for this bass?

[FL Knifemaker]

If Prices askes me to go on tour with him, I would buy one

What are those chrome bratwurst things sticking out of the body??

 

[ColdSteelRain]

He could probably get $6K for it if he called it an "iBass"

 

[chicago_mike]

I wouldn't pay $60

 

[CraigG]

I have a hard time with the thought of paying $6000 for any bass. I would always be be on edge worrying about something happening to it.

 

[sat]

to me it looks like a bass with 2 dildo's attached to it..

That is exactly what I thought when I saw it.

 

[UncleBalsamic]

Not my thing really.

 

[jmccain]

And Prince knows what he is doing?

I think Prince can flat out play. I've seen him live a bunch of times, particularly in the pre-Purple Rain days.

But, IMO, no guitar has better tone than that old Tele he often plays.

 

[MilkyMcMilkMilk]

if i'm spending 6,000 on any bass it better be an upright.

 

[Rob Martinez]

I wouldn't pay any money for that.

But that's just me.

Not my style!

 

[iamlowsound]

When I land the gig playing for prince, I will buy that bass.

[T-Forty]

I would only buy that bass if I wanted to look like a complete douchebag.

 

[J. Crawford]

LEGAL STUFF

Muy inteligente.

from what i understand, prince can rip on a bass as well. then again.. i doubt there are few things that little man CANT play.

Chrome bratwurst = STEELY DANS!


No, the LEDs would bug the tar outta me. I've have to spend the 6G on one of those fancy topped Fodera's, where the wood is so fancy I dont even care for it. Poo' boy tastes here.

 

[TheWolf]

Funky... and Unique... Out of my price range but to some people I can see them buying that...

"Chrome Bratwurst." Added to my list of potential band names.

 

[RSJ4STRING]

Taaaacky!

 

[wazzel]

I would not pay $6k for any electric bass.

Doesn't BigRedX have three of these? I didn't realize that 3 of these were worth more than my car, though! I borrowed this pic from another thread:

The thread is over here:

Maybe BigRedX can chime in and tell us a bit about Gus basses. Who knows, we may all end up wanting one...

 

[awakefie]

Isn't that clearly a battery box on the back of that (passive?) bass?

Brian

Could that be for the fret lights?
