Weird Bass Guitars
A small selection of "unusual" basses. Weirdly shaped, old or new, some of them are not so comfortable to be played, but they can still be a wonderful acquisition.

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.

[…] Kažkada seniai seniai… prieÅ¡ 18-19 metų pirmÄ… kartÄ… į rankas paÄ—miau bosinÄ™ gitarÄ… (kai pradÄ—jau skaiÄiuoti, tai net Å¡iurpas paÄ—mÄ— :)). Labai nemÄ—gau Å¡io instrumento - sunkus, storos stygos, reikia groti “keistai riešą iÅ¡lenkus”… vienu žodžiu net boso rakto penklinÄ™ reikejo mokytis… ir jokios melodijos - tik bum bum bum… Bet kuo toliau, tuo labiau supratau, kad Å¡is instrumentas yra neatskiriama ansamblio, ritmikos dalis ir pradÄ—jau jį mÄ—gti, eksperimentuoti su ritmu, improvizuoti, supratau, kÄ… reiÅ¡kia geras muÅ¡amųjų ir boso gitaros tandemas. VÄ—liau už savo uždirbtus ir sutaupytus pinigus buvau nusipirkÄ™s net savo - nuosavÄ… bosinÄ™ gitarÄ…, kuri, deja, po kolegos bandymo patobulinti - visiÅ¡kai prarado skambesį. Beje, ji taip ir liko TauragÄ—s 1-ojoje vid. mokykloje (dabartinÄ— Martyno Mažvydo vidurinÄ— mokykla)… kažin kas iÅ¡ jos beliko Na, o dabar Å¡tai kvieÄiu pasižiÅ«rÄ—ti įdomių bosinių gitarų kolekcijÄ… http://www.weirdomatic.com/weird-bass-guitars.html […]

The rifle bass has the scope on backwards.
The Nine string was meant to be played with both hands on the fretboard, like a Warr guitar or a Chapman Stick

I really like the Sniper Rifle, unfortunately i’m brown and travel quite a bit. chances are if i was to try and get through an airport with that bad-boy, i would not only be arrested but would be the 17th high-jacker according to CNN
The Gittler Stainless Bass from the 70’s was pretty weird
for sure….
These guitars are cool
Weird guitar 02 is just a BC Rich photo-shopped to look distorted. Sacrilege…
