 I'm kinda bummed the seller says he didn't receive payment. I check paypal and there it is siting unclaimed. It went to the address he gave me no typos. I canceled the transaction and asked him to send me a invoice. I have not heard back. I am thinking he got a better offer. Oh well.

That's the Uwe Hornung signature model. All black hardware

IIRC Jerry Casale's bass in when Devo hit it big was his spudbass, the Ripper with the horns sawn off. He did have a red plywood bass that was sort of phallic, it was the shape of an upside down T. It had a neck from an EB-3 he had played early on.

When even a piece of mahogany like this is tempting, you know it's time to see your shrink.. must...not...bid...

You keep the Goth Extreme out of this!!! That wasn't a bad bass by any means, just too long designed for any primates other than Gibbons and Orang-Utans.

Here is another shot at saving a bass just for the humanity of it...............

I might have risked spousal ire for that one for the current price (fix n flip locally) but the seller won't ship.  Looks weird but good without the binding on the body.

I put the first bid on that, but I'm not pursuing it any further. I'd like the electronics from it for a build but have no use for the rest of it. I picked up a Triumph a month or so ago and it's all that I've been playing on gigs.

I have a 71 Body that is all intact that I'll probably get on ebay this weekend. If anyone's interested I'll put up pics in the classifieds.

They do that to you.
