Your sarcasm is misplaced. I have a problem with label snobs, not shapes.

I nearly bought one of these the other day. A white T-40 that popped up locally.
I'd been musing with the idea of putting together a cheap bass rig, and this is exactly the kind of 70s craziness I dig.

$425 for that and two knockoff violin type basses is probably worth it if you're into violin basses in a big way but since I'm not joining a Beatles tribute band anytime soon I think I'll skip it.

those peavey basses sound really awesome. that one looks awful, i cant imagine why anyone would think that cutting off parts of it at random would be a good idea.
maybe he just got too excited about a new band saw.

For those who don't know (Young whippersnappers! Get off my lawn!) that's John Mayall. For the record I think his cut down guitars look stupid too.
