Even Peter Hook would struggle to reach down to that bass. Anyhoo, were Vampire guitars covered in the previous thread? I was on Ed Roman's shopsite when I saw these ghastly things:


Viper Omega


Hellion


Rockingbat. This one has some revolting moulding/routing on the body that doesn't show up fully here. You could click on the Roman site and see a full-screen, but I wouldn't Shocked

3 is awful, but 1 and 2 have some redeeming qualities. great for a spinal tap-esque act.

No 2 looks very nice, i like the colour, 3 is fodder, No1 looks too much like the Eifel tower, symbol of the pretentious frothy coffee.

This Warmoth-parts LP bass could've been very nice, if a little impractical. Then I looked closely at the "binding". Oh dear, ha'p'orth of tar, anyone?

It was going so well til he said:

'The white tape around the outside is decorative and removable.'

Oh dear, surely nobody would put white sticky tape on a guitar to make it look better? not around the pickups too? Laughing

That one is just gross.

A re-spray is needed urgently. Either that or take it back to a natural finish.

Must admit, it looked familiar to me too, i only found it on my weekly Tokai dredge of ebay. Brings a tear to your eye to see a decent jap Tokai abused this way.
