Older players (OK, me) might remember the rather offensive "Tokai is coming" advert. No, don't search for it - your hard drive will be of interest to The Squad for years. Imagine, though, if this brand new Musicvox Spaceranger used the same campaign - ouch

It's worth reading the auction for some hilarious hype about how you'll get noticed on stage. It doesn't tell you that you'd get much the same effect, cheaper, wearing those comedy breasts.
props to Talkbass website for flagging this in 2007, as a search just revealed. Thought I'd seen one before. Still ugly, though. |

Another buy-new. The Fret King Ventura bass.
Now, Trev Wilkinson deserves a lot of credit. Decent quality hardware for a very reasonable price. And I can understand the thought "wouldn't it be great if a single bass had that Jazz bridge honk, the Precision thump and the EB0 mudbucker tone?" as long as you quickly dropped the idea.
Putting them into an ugly body with an ugly headstock and charging a very unreasonable £729? Me neither. |

| Good to see you back, with some gold again. Live busker shot - must be a first for the 'ugly' thread, surely? |
