JimD Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It has been said that my plywood Hondo II precision copy, made fretless and covered in wrapping paper (with a sliced up pickguard) by me is very ugly.

Roland Rock Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wow - so that's Gretsch and Stingray hated too! I'm coming to the conclusion that any bass with any kind of distinct styling will offend [b]someone's[/b] eyes. The only ones missing from this thread are the more blandly styled instruments, which can't offend as the styling is so unimaginative (IMO) I'm talking Bass Collection SB, Ibanez SR, Yamaha RBX etc. So, in conclusion, you should only be upset with this thread if your bass is NOT mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterfire666 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I reckon at least 95% of all basses are ugly as sin. Shame really it means i have to spend a load of cash when i want somethin pretty. All the ones i like are custom shapes or insanely rare. Hohum.......

Had I been even filthier rich, I'd be all over it and attempt to rock like a bastard - no matter how many strings attached. However, pretty it ain't. Well desgned it ain't, unless "well designed" means that it was meant to be seen an lusted after by people who wanna rock it like bastards - which of course is good. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
