Not a fan of green, but that is unusually nice! Impressive.

Well, I too hate to admit it, but, that is a great looking bass. What a character though!

good taste prevents me from expressing the depth of my disgust and dislike for the emperor ...

It looks cool, I think it'd look better with a white pickguard though.

Dunno if I'm down with the green on that...

And it's not just because of my contempt for the emperor.

I did a little search for the emperor to see what the fuss is about. All I can say is, "wow..."

Dark green is the greatest color ever in the history of colors.
Listen to that sustain!
