So...

There's this...

It's, err, it's what it is...

It's a 'custom' 8 string thing from Etherial guitars, it need work as the set up is all sorts of wrong and some of the 'tronics need attention. It's basically the real life version of a drawing of a guitar that may have been done in the 1950's by someone who was asked to draw what they think a guitar would look like in the year 2020. 

It has 2 bass strings which are fretted up until the 12th fret, then from there on they are fretless...

The rest is a 6 string fanned fret 'standard' guitar. Of the 6 knobs, the two in the middle are push/pull coil tap, and the 2 runs of three knobs are vol, tone, tone. It has a Les Paul style 3 way toggle and a kill switch. Oh, and it has a Steinberg style 'lap flap' for good measure!

It's a set neck, the tuners are Gotoh, the rest, well, I don't know! 

£400 is my asking price, given what it is, I think it's fair enough! Comes with a terrible 'fitted' hard case. 

Uninsured shipping is £15 across the UK.

Any questions... I'll try and answer! 😂

That's so weird as to be really cool. I love it.

[binky_bass]

@leschirons, well it's here if you want to buy it!! 😁

[therealting]

I’ve owned more than half a dozen fanned fret basses and guitars... and that is next level bonkers. 

[binky_bass]

Note the tiny single string pickups for the 2 bass strings... I mean... why??

That's so outlandish, even @Happy Jack might not want it on his wall of Mystery Basses.

Tbf that is the main question I keep coming back to - why?

😂

But I'd still like a go on it!

[alyctes]

I like it. 

Just so long as it's not in the same room as me.

Love that thing to bits. The real stumbling block would be persuading @Silvia Bluejay to let me buy it.

Unfortunately, now my Country & Western outfit has disbanded, I have no gig suitable for this instrument. 

[binky_bass]

@Happy Jack, I have it on good authority that @Silvia Bluejay would be extremely disappointed if you didn't but this... 😁

[Happy Jack]

In truth, the buyer you need will be someone who plays both guitar and bass.

Paging @MacDaddy ...

Outstandingly bonkers 

If Mr Spock played guitar; it'd be this.   I only wish my guitar playing justified buying it.

[therealting]

What are the scales, out of curiosity?

[binky_bass]

I'll measure it up tomorrow but it'll be something like 24" to 27" ish on the guitar bit and 28" to 30" ish on the bass side. 

[prowla]

It's kindof a Stick on a wonk.

[binky_bass]

Confirmed by Etherial that it is in fact an Etherial... I had my doubts, but it is legit!

Doesn't make it any better! 😂

Seriously considered, but unfortunately funds needed elsewhere
