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! Image

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! Image

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.

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! Image

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

Learn something everyday!

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

Image

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

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

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