Could be very cool to someone with some cojones and $129.00. Nice cosmetic shape; needs a speaker and tubes. Then you're up to about $200.00. If it works, fine. If not, an amp tech could pump that price up quite rapidly...

It'll be interesting to see where this one goes, Charlie. I'm thinking $600.00 or thereabouts. A decade ago these were $20.00 garage sale items.

Ugh! Looks like it was designed from something at the bottom of my parrots cage! Check out the measurements of this one!

Tony, what are you feeding your parrots?!? LOL I like to put pictures of certain people at the bottom of my parrots cages. That bass looks an instrument melted!

I saw something like this in a Virenamese furniture store in Westminster, CA., a few years back.

But it was the headboard for a bed.

And it didn't have strings or pickups...

My mom always said eeewww yuck, don't ever touch it.....
