Can you overlay the seat with cocobolo? I'm sure that it would then have a great "bottom"; real deep. (ROFL) Ellery (Lowlife) |

That would be a good idea Ellery, the cocobolo overlay. I think I see a "crack" in the finish. |

I believe this bass is equipped with invisible "P" bass pickups. |

Hey I just realized that if you could fill in the hole, it would look like a Bongo Bass. Ellery (Lowlife) |

Would a neck-through model be considered as "half-assed"? And I'll apologize in advance if I've ofended anyone, as I get the sense that I'm pushing the limits for a "family" forum. |

No wonder it sounds like poo, it doesn't have activators! Do you think the luthier felt flushed with success when this was completed? Now all it needs is some LEDs so you can use it in the dark. Mike |

Does the instruction manual come in a roll? When you are done playing, you'd better put this bass down in case a girl will be playing it next! Does one condition the fingerboard with toilette water? And speaking of fingerboard, you'd better wash your hands when you finish playing this one! As for all you pros, with a bass like this you could really wipe out the competition. Of course if you are of the Moslem faith, you'll have to play it left-handed. On the bright side, no worries about how it balances as it will always be played while sitting. I hope I'm not being too cheeky, butt I couldn't resist! (rimshot) Bill, tgo |

There's more potty/poopoo humor in this thread than first grade recess. We need one of these every now and then. Rich |

Hi Bill. I knew you couldn't resist this one. This bass can be your number 1 bass but is better suited as a number 2. |

I guess this is THE bass to play Tom Green's Bum Bum song with! My bum is on the strings, my bum is on the strings. I hope none will break 'cause that would surely give me wings! Cheers! F.C. |

That bass looks tailor made for producing funk. You probably wouldn't want to chew your fingernails after playing it, anyway. |
