I'm sure that it would then have a great "bottom"; real deep.

I think I see a "crack" in the finish. lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 236 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 7:48 am:    ROFL....ROFL....and still ROFL! Ellery (Lowlife) olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 583 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 7:55 am:    I believe this bass is equipped with invisible "P" bass pickups. fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 143 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 8:10 am:    I believe I read somewhere on this board that Coco Bolo fingerboards can be hard on your fingers.... I wonder what it will do to your.... N.B. I've got all the ingredients here (toilet seat, fender neck, bridge)gotta find my Black & Decker!-LOL- (Message edited by fc_spoiler on July 20, 2006) olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 584 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 8:16 am:    Man?,...I knew this thread would go down the "toilet" when I started. LOL lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 237 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:10 am:    Hey I just realized that if you could fill in the hole, it would look like a Bongo Bass. Ellery (Lowlife) fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 144 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:11 am:    You can also use it to shove yer Pizza in the oven lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 238 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:21 am:    Or as a scoop at the Bacarrat table. lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 239 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:22 am:    Yep, and it's also obvious that I have way too much time on my hands. lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 240 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:25 am:    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. dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 630 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:46 am:    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 olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 585 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 10:50 am:    You can also only put "G" strings on it! fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 145 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 11:37 am:    or make it a 50 strings and take it to your tennis court gig (Message edited by fc_spoiler on July 20, 2006) keurosix Member Username: keurosix Post Number: 55 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 12:03 pm:    Bet it gets that farty Jack Bruce sound! 2400wattman Intermediate Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 198 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 2:43 pm:    I don't have enough G.A.S for this acquisition. Somebody light a match!......Whew!! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1493 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 3:08 pm:    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!

We need one of these every now and then. Rich olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 588 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 5:43 pm:    I agree Rich, we need one like this to keep our sense of humor "regular". olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 589 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 5:47 pm:    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. flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 1198 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 9:25 pm:    let me float this one...... is this the bass where the runs are acceptable to the lead guitar? lidon2001 Intermediate Member Username: lidon2001 Post Number: 191 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 10:32 pm:    Looks like this bass was created for a "bum". bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 908 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 11:08 pm:    These Fender Custom Shop MasterBuilts . . . boy, is THIS one a Closet Classic! J o e y lowlife Advanced Member Username: lowlife Post Number: 241 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 4:42 am:    I'd own a bass like this if I wanted to get a little "behind" in my music. Ellery (Lowlife) fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 164 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 4:52 am:    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. fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 165 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 4:55 am:    ... and it would be wise to install one of those Rickenbacker(?) string retainers.... for obvious reasons lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 1494 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, July 24, 2006 - 1:27 pm:    Joey: I believe, technically, it is a "Water Closet Classic"!

You probably wouldn't want to chew your fingernails after playing it, anyway.
