I'll bet the guy that was hired to do the work was crying the whole time.  It would be so much easier and cheaper to use an S strap or hang a Crown Royal Bag for ballast.

We've all seen a lot worse things done to basses. At least the original bass is still there, it just has "enhancement."

From the pics, it looks professionally done, I recognize the names of those who did the work, they're all established businesses.

All depends on the reserve. They won't get anywhere near what an all-original would get, but maybe they're not expecting to.

It took a lot of time, money and well-know talent to turn that into a piece of crap.

I guess you could remove the prosthetic boner.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

Definitely puts the Fender "boner bass" to shame.  More "bass enhancement" would be needed to catch up.

A great bass is hiding in that ugly m-f! What a stupid idea! As Gary says, there's ways to avoid any form of neck-heavyness...

I bet it's a great bass if you just have your eyes surgically removed.

Looking at it again, if the extended horn had curved inwards, it wouldn't look quite so bad. Sticking out to the side like that, it looks sort of like a Wankwick Corvette. Ugh.
