hideous but at least its ugliness is almost entirely due to its whole raison d'etre which sorta gives it a pass in my book.

Wouldn’t that actually be kind of awesome tho

While this guy is coming from a good place WOO that is one ugly fuckin' thing:

It's hideous and dude is starting from a flawed theory, "bent wrist" doesn't automatically equal "carpal tunnel" at all. And then he moves from that to "I had to make it crazy looking, not just ergonomic", and well, I don't mean to be negative but no.

Bass players in particular seem to have a susceptibility to total taste bypass, one day you’re thinking about stripping a Precision back to natural finish and the next you’re buying something made of bubinga with 9 strings and fanned frets and a body shaped like a cumshot.

Which came first, the ugly bass or the ugly bass amp? At some point the world decided that bass amps 1) cannot look cool, 2) should be rack mounted, and 3) need to have a graphic EQ.

Guitarists have a lot of nerve talking shit about basses considering the omnipresent fugliness that is the Strandberg guitar.



These turds are EVERYWHERE. Of course they're only slightly uglier than a standard small-head Strat in red with a white pickguard

Has anybody ever seen anybody actually play one of these fugly things in a band? I tend to think of all these ridiculous designs as bedroom-only instruments. Like nobody in their right mind would show up to an audition with one of these, or pull one out at band practice and go "look what I got!"

On the other hand, praise & worship bands are full of potato basses.
