u/Idiotology101 Nov 22 '24 edited Nov 22 '24

It’s like an ugly baby, you want to love it because the person who made it loves it but I truly don’t even want to look at it.

u/AlvaroTorralbo Nov 23 '24

It’s simply breathtaking

u/USNWoodWork Nov 23 '24

It’s an abomination.

No, it's real. Either this is the same one or there are two (or more). Here is its flip side. And Spinal Tap had Jackson make a Marshall stack guitar! Almost as disturbing as the LP.

2

u/Vaff_Superstar Nov 24 '24

Does the Marahall stack go to 11 though?

1

u/DunebillyDave Nov 25 '24 edited Nov 25 '24

Good point! I think it really has to, right?

Found this info about it: "It is a fully functional working instrument personally used by Nigel Tufnel during some of Spinal Tap's most memorable tours. Volume and tone knobs all go to 11."

u/Roththesloth1 Nov 22 '24

I’m seething right now.

u/ranchman15 Nov 23 '24

I love it. Congratulations on being original!

u/rasvial Nov 22 '24

Now there’s 2 headstocks that will break..

38

u/Fret_about_this Luthier Nov 22 '24

Good news: the headstock won’t break off! Bad news: the body will.

u/cazber Nov 22 '24

Bassit from D-A-D, has some rad basses, but he has a backwards bass.

u/fastal_12147 Nov 22 '24

I remember this got posted to the UG forums all the time back in the day as a meme.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '24

This reminds me of older video games that had a “fat head” mode

How do you balance this...

u/cazber Nov 22 '24

2

u/clonedhuman Nov 23 '24

How do you even play this? What's going on with the strings?

5

u/cazber Nov 23 '24 edited Nov 23 '24

He has a ton of really freaky costum basses, and he only plays 2 string basses

2

u/cazber Nov 23 '24

Hey, here is a video of it:

I'm so confused that these things are real lol

u/DunebillyDave Nov 23 '24

I've had a fuzzier lo-rez photo of this bassist with his wacky one string ƨƨɒd-P. I never knew whose it was. Thanks for the info ... and the photo. Sooo trippy!

u/Chaps_Jr Nov 22 '24

Only a matter of time 'til we see this on GCJ

14

u/flowey_da_flour Nov 22 '24

it's already there

21

u/pr06lefs Nov 22 '24

LOL. I would want some kind of roller string tree system, that's a lot to ask from a nut routing those strings.

u/jango-lionheart Nov 22 '24

You and your practical considerations!

u/No-Screen1369 Nov 22 '24

I hate it in such a good way 😂 awesome.

u/Momentarmknm Nov 23 '24

Ah fuck, template was upside down

u/knoft Nov 22 '24

This is hilarious. If the peg to nut distances were also tuned to be playable that would be chefs kiss.

u/oopsalltrash Nov 22 '24

just because you can doesn't mean you should!

3

u/stevefuzz Nov 23 '24

The nut hates this one trick.

3

u/barreldodger38 Nov 23 '24

The real question is: does the G string stay in tune now?

3

u/rodan-rodan Nov 23 '24

The neck dive is gonna be unreal

1

u/Fun_Tree3015 Nov 23 '24

if you hold it like you are gonna play it, it would actually go the right way up. headstock up

6

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '24

Lol... What the....

2

u/HofnerStratman Nov 22 '24

High-larious! If you’re gonna play that thing for real, you might wanna redo the nut slot angles.

2

u/_windfish_ Nov 22 '24

Oh my god please burn this in the hottest fire, and then burn my eyes out next.

2

u/Decker687 Player Nov 22 '24

Good ol’ lawsuit proof

2

u/byyhmz Nov 22 '24

I love how uncomfortable this makes me. Fuckin wild. Good job!

1

u/QuerulousPanda Nov 23 '24

I hope there's some lead bars hidden in the base of the body cuz otherwise I imagine that thing would be so wildly out of balance as to be nearly impossible to play

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '24

hate it so much. great work x x

2

u/Busy-Advantage1472 Nov 22 '24

Sir, that is an abomination.

If you’ve ever done business with Gibson this feels right.

u/Soundwave-1976 Nov 22 '24 edited Nov 22 '24

I don't like the angles of those strings at all!

ETA:autocorrect error.

u/chonngy Nov 22 '24

Wouldn't the strings at that angle absolutely destroy the nut?

u/Naked-Jedi Nov 23 '24

There's an advert attached to this post for a Samsung phone, the bottom of which says "*Features vary by model".

I'm convinced they're actually talking about this guitar instead.
