Maude Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Maybe I'm being dumb here (it has been known) but it reminds me of a Jamaican flag just as much as a Confederate flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 There's a clue in the name "Rebel bass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 1 minute ago, Clarky said: There's a clue in the name "Rebel bass" Yeah I get that, but just purely visually it's all wrong anyway, wrong colours, wrong amount of stars, unevenly spaced stars. It's just a poor attempt at a Confederate flag. If you want to go down that route, surely put some effort in to space the stars correctly, even if you can't do the colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Regardless of the accuracy, I think the intention is obvious. If I had a bass shop in London, there is no way I would retail this 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 It's okay, really. Knowing the gallery, it's probably been sold for at least 18 months now and they haven't realised, much less amended their site to reflect the fact. 🙄 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm sure the future owner will be delighted when their sister-aunt buys them that bass for their birthday. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 That is indeed a weird one. Who is behind Fat/Phat (that's how it is spelled on the control cavity cover) Bottom Guitars? Did you notice the Fender neck plate? Don't think they will be overly happy with it (unless Phat Bottom Guitars is owned by Fender?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The (mis)alignment of the stars is another reason to make me want to smash it to pieces. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 There’s no info on Google, other than a reference to a Jazz bass, by someone called Lex Luthier in Hertfordshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Didn't we have a poster on here who tried to tell us all the confederacy was motivated by economics and totally not about owning humans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I googled also. This is the only reference I found. No idea if its this guy but he is based in Texas and says he is a luthier .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to holocaust denial, evolution denial and flat earthers they have a lot of "evidence" they can present for those who struggle processing information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
