Another For the Hall of Shame... Kind Of

Post by 35012 »

Here is an electric sitar made from a body apparently based on a 4001v63 bass. The first time I saw it, I cringed before realising it wasn't a real 4001.

A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Strange, but I don't find it too nasty. Maybe I've been looking at my own sitar too long.
