Whoever is selling this needs to be tarred and feathered for ruining such a wonderful piece of Kauri- I know it's not Alembic, but goodness gracious, what a mess.

Horror

It's a Picasso Precision, I think. The other partially shown bass (a Warwick, maybe) was probably happy that it wasn't included in the picture. How embarassing.

Ever see the movie Doom?

Never seen Doom, but I'm assuming that there was a weapon of mass destruction that looks eerily similar to the bass guitar shown above...

People contract a virus that turns them into ugly blob type creatures that kind of resembles a person. Not a pretty site!

If I were a rhinoceros I would be upset at being associated with such a monstrosity. Thank goodness they have poor eye-sight so will never haver to look at it.

Love that diamond plate cover! It sure fits the rest of the horrid package!

Salvador Dali inspired? Uh, here goes...other than the extra bits of metal, I sorta like it. The wood is beautiful, it's an imaginative execution of a functional tool.
My guess is that the wood probably existed close to this in it's natural state - think a cross section of a large knobby cypress root.

Would I buy it, nope. But I can appreciate it.

Wonder if that diamond plate came off of a MusicMan SUB?

Man, that thing has got to be incredibly neck-heavy. That it's butt ugly is beyond question.
