Somebody spilled a bottle of Pepto Bismol on the headstock and part of the body.  :P

Other than the Pink which is not my favorite choice, it looks awesome. I would love to have an "exploiter" type of bass.

I guess you already discovered it's not my bass. But to be sure I'll tell you: It's not my bass:)

They admit to it weighing 11.4 pounds.  Maybe it comes with a chiropractor app.

The customer's name was on that page. I figured even your Doug Stryker persona wouldn't order a finish like that.

Mind you, I've heard pink is very sliming... :o

Maybe they mixed up the plans for a Peter Cook tribute with an Explorer after trying to cure a night on the tiles finishing off with a blisteringly hot curry... :puke: ;D

As Inspector Clouseau would have bantered:

Owner:  "Why That's a PRICELESS Steinway..."

Clouseau: "Not Anymore"

Or perhaps more appropriately:

Clouseau: "You said your dog does not bite"

Innkeeper: "Zat misseur is not my dog"

Shouldn't that be "You said your dewg does not bite" ??   ;D

Mark my words, François. Sinister forces are at work.

I like that the headstock doubles as a beer opener.

Looks like an inflatible floating device, a business gift for the loyal endorsee / spoiled rock hero for use in the private swimming pool ......  :-X

Does it come with platform boots in a matching design ?  :mrgreen:

Sorry Chris, this fin really brings out the worst in me ....   :sad:

The fin is terrible, but the cluttered split coils are worse. Through years of planning, trial and error, Warwick have now come up with the solution to mount two split coils in the ugliest possible way. No mean feat.

Those split coils were placed that way as per JAE.

It actually is better that way on the bridge pup but they should have flopped the neck pickup imo  but i defer to JAE.  I have it on an anniversary warwick i bought  (10 I think) and i don't care for it that way but i never play it anyway...
