I almost bought one just like that a few years ago, it looks better here in the pictures than the one I saw in person did.

It's not that hard to get good at playing fretless. Don't fear Godzilla errr- the reaper...

Something like that!

Honestly, when I got my fretless it only took about a month or so before I was playing it well. Within 6 months it was second nature. Even when I switched back to bass last year after 6 years on guitar it was like riding a bike-you don't forget. Didn't take very long to get it tight again.

So if you like it, I'd say go for it!

BTW, who is the Emporer? Seems a little...odd.

That guy is into some pretty weird s#*t. That is one SERIOUSLY big (for a home)Vandegraph generator sitting on top of that Marshall amp. I wouldn't want to be in the room when he fires that thing up.

His auctions are like that "Travel Gnome" commercial...here I am in a hammock, here I am lying in the grass, at the beach, on a mountaintop, just take some nice pictures of the bass, we don't need a travelogue.

$1115... man!

If I could afford it right now I'd snap this baby up in a flash!

I'm surprised the Emperor didn't have this listed on Ebay, or
maybe this is from the Clown guy?

Holy sh*t! I live near Tampa. I heard those "sonic booms" the other day too!

Now to know that this was really an alien space ship crash! Who'd a thunk?

Learn something everyday!

ROFL LOL.... OH MY GOD!

Did he make that from paper mache and spaghetti sauce?!

Gee, odd that those "seismic disturbances" did not show up at the USGS earthquake page:

The only thing missing from that ad is the unicorn that the alien brought along on the spaceship ...

Hey, I might have some video of a talking horse, too ... Wilbur!

Mr. Ed was cool.

Why the long face Ed?

Quick...somebody photoshop a horn onto Ed's forehead and some 'Uncle Martin' antennae onto Wilbur, and we got a whole new primetime ballgame!
