That one is almost worth buying - just for the purpose of taking it out and burying it to make sure it never sees the light of day again. Better drive a stake through its heart, just to be sure.

It's as though a bassist who survived the apocalypse in Mad Max tried to recreate a Rick bass from from memory with limited tools and supplies, and after ingesting large quantities of irradiated food and water...
