Expensive Bass Porn
The MadChilli bass looks fantastic (no audio samples, though - grrrrr . . .), but you could tell it was going to be a pricey addition to your collection even before you got to the MSRP. How many times have you seen gig bags and cases referred to as "couture?" Aren't the items held by the disaffected hipsters in these photos (fingerless gloves!) designed to take punishment, rather than lend a fashion statement to your instrument?
Perhaps I'm being too sensitive about this, but cases get banged, smashed, and generally abused. Buy them for functionality, please. Oh, and I'd like to hear the bass. Sound samples, please!
