The Badass is offensive not because it's a Badass but because the top was gouged out for it. You can see that clearly in one of the auction pics.
I cannot believe how someone could do something as atrocious to an EB-0L, these basses deserve to be untouched or restored to their original look! Regarding restoration to original look, choice of tasteful, not too garish refin is of course paramount, take advice from your local drag queen/style icon/model train enthusiast/Afrika Korps veteran on that: Herr Moderator, I had no idea I was such a profound influence on you and this extraordinary bass................. I curtsey to you, fine Sir!
