Interesting designs suggesting, at the least, that bass players have great imaginations (although are not necessarily individuals who place a premium on functionality). http://www.weirdomatic.com/weird-bass-guitars.html http://www.altguitarbass.com/weird/ bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1757 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 11:05 am:    OK, just to save anyone else a firm dressing-down: Susan already told me she is NOT gonna build a Gumby-Alembic !

What is so "weird" about the blue Rick 4080? tubeperson Intermediate Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 199 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 1:18 pm:    Or any Rick 4080? That is the bass equivalent of the BC Rich double neck the greatest one of all time. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1758 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 10:49 pm:    Oh, so Dave, YOU'RE the one with the fur-covered Elans !

If anyone finds one for sale, let me know. "Xanadu" (Rush version, or Olivia Newton John) will sound so very, very sweet...
