Bass Porn For Today
Today's fawning gaze comes courtesy of StumbleUpon and Jens Ritter. I like this bass for a few reasons. The elegant body shape looks like it'd be easy to play. The headless design hides the tuning gears and probably makes the balance between head and body better, although you'd still need a strap for playing (unless you could manage a precarious lap balance on that lower curve). Finally, the pointy head makes sure you keep your share of stage space and discourages lame lead singer antics. No price available on site, as you have to ask for a quote. This means I won't be able to buy one for a good, long time. Still nice to look, though.

were its’ color pink, that would make a terrific lawn flamingo – trailer park style.

I prefer to think of it as a piece of modern art.
That, and it is stabby.

Jesus, it’s a giant red sperm with a bayonette! The only person allowed to play this instrument is the touring bass player for Prince. No exceptions.

I’d also accept Bootsy Collins and/or any Parliament/Funkadelic associate.

I think you are overlooking the extraordinary metal potential of this bass. It plays guitar-doubling 220 BPM lines that will be eliminated from the final mixdown, AND it’s good for killing un-tr00 posers!

My only concern is that it might be too graceful for tr00 metil.
Unless you could make it a polearm somehow . . .
