saw this bass on a website and thought some of you would like it too:

"-Floral Renaissance Pattern made of Gold Leaf all over the Instrument
-A beautiful Exceptional colour intensive yellow sapphire set in Gold serves as Master Switch
-Volume and Tone Knobs contain 2 Yellow-Orange Citrines set in Gold
-Retail price: 18000 Euro"























this bass reminds me of 'the artist formerely known as' prince.

I was just about to say, "You have found the instruments of the Revolution," but you beat me to it...

+1 It's always a pity when so much time and craftsmanship is wasted on producing something so tacky.

Cf., the world's hardest guitar -- saw this thing in person at a custom knifemaker's show. Very impressive. Very scary.

Looks like something Prince would play....

I like my basses simple. A nice Eccleshall or Musicman in black....maybe a Rickenbacker...

why is it tacky? does everything ornate have to be tacky? should everyone shop at the gap?

there are other styles of music. this bass would look good in one of those bands who wear suits, like sade.

I'm just curious if I'm the only one who originally thought this thread was about a fish.

No, I meant that the bass is tacky, but that's OK, because it's rock 'n' roll.

i'm the one who mentioned prince, so i'll grant you this one. i still don't see why it's tacky. gawdy, yes, but in a good way. a louis XIV way.
