"You have sooooo many uglier basses in your kollektion."

True, but that is the charm of it!

Looks like the case my RD came in...

Nice looking... imho...

I quite like them, they've got an industrial clunkiness about them that I find quite comforting.

I have no real idea why these basses are so loved here.  I find them unappealing to the eye, that's for sure.

They're loved much more for the tone than the look. I don't find them unappealing, though, just not very graceful looking.

I rather like it, but I tend to be attracted to basses with something different in the cosmetics.

Maybe I just identify and empathise with the embassy.

Went for $3 106. Well, that's almost what she's worth. But not nearly! ;D

You mean you're not the Victory type then?  :-\ And I always thought you were the not fragile type.
