Pee Bass on Ebay

Post by mgauction »

I saw this on ebay and cried laughing. This seller is serious about this bass.

He states" You are bidding on a truly one of a kind bass that I picked up from A small maker in Midland,Texas. I saw it and had to have it. It has a clear acrylic body with a toilet seat attached with screws on either side (these can be removed easily, if so desired, and replaced with pretty much anything that can accomodate screws). The neck is a one piece maple neck and fretboard (with some light flaming). I relpaced the origanl pickups with Rio-Grande J-style. Electronics include a volume knob and neck and bridge on/off switches. The tone is about as clear as they come, but still retains warmth. Don't be fooled by the shape, this players piece as well as a good conversation/collectors piece. I hate to let this one go, but I need a 5/6 string/money for christmas gifts. I may trade for a 5/6 string fretted/fretless.

REMIND ME NEVER TO GO TO MIDLAND, TEXAS!

You'd never have to leave the stage imagine that? Very practical.

I'm afraid the tone on that is a bit constipated, and the whole design is flush with problems. While I might decide to learn standup bass, sitdown bass is not in my future, as there is the constant problem of unwanted string muting when you are in playing position. The only positive aspect is providing a transport case for it, as most players would only bother to keep a lid on it. Besides, early in the morning everyone in the family will want to use it.

...and still no bids. That would pee me off if I was trying to sell it. Makes you wonder what he paid for it if he is unloading it for that price?

One of a kind just doesn't mean the same to me anymore.

Would you call the body shape haemmorhoidal?

Or perhaps 'fretted haemmorhoidal'?

All they need to do is make an acoustic bass guitar in the shape of a plunger for the "Unplugged" sessions.
