The Ebay auction just ended a few minutes ago.
I've been watching this bass for a week, hoping that nobody would see it ;)

But in the dying seconds the bidding got beserk, so I backed off

But wow, what an intriguing bass!

That is pretty cool. It has a definite '50s appliance feel to it.

Why does it need a case, when it already has a carry handle built in? LOL

+1 on looking cool though

With that grip, my first thought was Ibanez Jem prototype.  ;)

Too bad you didn't get it, it would be a great conversation piece no matter how it plays. But I would have dropped out of that bidding war too.

Can you fill in spare fuel with it? Sure looks the part. But I do like its retro-Jetsons esthetics.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I don't know why, but it reminds me of my truck, except you could have bought two of my trucks for what it went for. So in conclusion, it's not a truck, but if it were, it would be less expensive.

It's almost like an upright bass. Does it have an endpin?
