Whoops, I mean guitar, not BASS guitar.
glwParticipantI’m not sure what the value of this Hayman bass guitar is, but I love the fact that they think that they might make a sale by including the band name THE RUBETTES in the subject line!

glwParticipantI dunno… Is it just me or is this a lot of money to be asking for a Squier?

glwParticipantYou’ve got a bit of a “thing” about that Marley guitar, haven’t you?
I bet you secretly desire one. Or do you already have one stashed away?

There’s a whole gallery of horrors over at the Bunny Bass website:

It’s a Strat that’s had a make-over by Salvador Dali.
There was a guy recently selling one of these on eBay and also a Collision bass.
They are made by Brian Eastwood (whose website now seems to be dead, unfortunately).

Look again at the Welsh flag and you’ll see it’s a red dragon and not bloody bat girl.
Anyway, some great bands have come out of Wales, e.g. the magnificient Super Furry Animals.
OK, I’m off to find a picture of a Distortocaster for you.

It might look better melted.
Dare I post a picture of the Bender Distortocaster at this point?
July 19, 2005 at 11:20 pm in reply to: The Worst Colour/Finish/Detail on a guitar – post them in. #68292glwParticipantOK, in that case I have another one for you.
The ESP Devil Girl:

glwParticipantHey, he’s a cool cat. He’s the only cat I’ve known to be fascinated by guitar playing. He watches the strings vibrate, and has been known to come up to the guitar and twang the strings with his teeth! Who else out there has got a guitar playing cat? Yeah, walking across keyboards, easy, but guitars?
Anway, sorry, I’d not heard of this Korg/Vox AC15 thing. It might still be too much for my needs though.
Here’s the details of the Vox Brian May Special amp: http://www.voxamps.co.uk/products/brianMay.htm

Or does it not count because we’re now getting into the realm of weird shaped guitars rather than just ‘orrible finishes?
glwParticipantJoss Stone’s guitarist played one of the Africa guitars on one song, but the camera never zoomed in on it, so we didn’t get a good look at it.
glwParticipantAh yes, I remember Kitten Kong well enough. (Actually, I’m sad enough to have that on DVD, but less about that…)
That’s just my little Vox Brian May amp – it’s got some nice tones on it. I do have a real AC-30 – one of the rare piggyback models – but to be honest I haven’t turned it on in years – it’s a bit too loud for my neighbourhood to handle, I think.
Now I’m a bit worried about using it at all. I’ve heard that it can be dangerous to use valve equipement after years of inacrtivity; the valves might blow or something. Does anyone know anything about this?
