Classic Arcade Bass Porn
What makes these basses so attractive?
Is it the 11 strings? The matching wood pickup covers? The individual saddles on the bridge? The fanned fret layout?

Check out the inlays on the fretboards and the custom Pac-man knobs. Excellent attention to detail.
And yes, the 11 strings and fanned frets make the basses pretty attractive, too. But how many remind you of some of the most classic video games of all time? Just these two, really.
