   I’m a traditionalist. I like the clear one, altho the second is interesting, and the Ouija board comes in third. The 9-string makes my head hurt.

68. BigRedX, on July 12th, 2008 at 4:11 am Said:

    While I’m probably one of the biggest fans of unorthodox guitar and bass designs, what annoys me more than anything about posts like this, is that there is no information given to go with the pictures. I would love to know more about the perspex bodied bass with all the controls along the top (second picture from the top – the other see-thru bass is a Sandberg), but all we get is a photo copied from alt.guitar.bass

    Anyone can scout the internet for photos of wacky shaped instruments, but on the whole it’s worthless without the information to back it up.

    If you want to see some unusual bass guitars along with information about them and links to the manufacturer’s web sites have a look at this:
