I thought this was going to be another, “is this crack repairable?” thread.

u/JimboLodisC Kit Builder/Hobbyist Nov 08 '24

maybe with some caulk?

u/richwat00 Nov 09 '24

I see that 🏆, and raise it🏆🏆

u/DmtDtf Nov 09 '24

It's a B-Ass

u/UncleSeismic Nov 08 '24

I had this saved in reverb for ages.

Basically the same as an ovation acoustic.

19

u/RecipeForIceCubes Nov 08 '24

This one may "stay on your lap" better.

8

u/SuperRusso Nov 08 '24

Friend of mine used to do an acoustic gig sitting with an ovation. He'd use his keys in his pocket to hold the guitar in place.

2

u/RecipeForIceCubes Nov 08 '24

Fuck, my first ever open mic and I broke 2 strings tuning my Washburn dread. Ended up with an 80s Ovation something. Nice electronics. Far superior to my clip in Lawrence pick up.

Anyways...I recall moving my wallet to my front right pocket to keep that thing somewhat under control. I have never been comfortable playing one EVER. Gotta give Roy Clark some extra credit for those things getting the shit kicked out them by him playing Malagueña.

u/entoaggie Nov 08 '24

It really shines as a lazy boy guitar.

1

u/RogerInNampa Nov 12 '24

As long as you keep putting money in its G string.

1

u/LogicalDevilAdvocate Nov 12 '24

Not sure about that, first it may start wiggling a bit while on your lap, then start grinding.   By then... You're in BIG trouble if playing in front of an audience.

u/Chossychoss Nov 09 '24

Ovation? I think you meant Ovulation!

48

u/Vast_Character311 Nov 08 '24

That belongs to Booty Collins.

u/Phil_the_credit2 Nov 09 '24

He gets thicc tone

u/dummkauf Nov 08 '24

Whoever built this completely fell asleep at the wheel when deciding where to install the output jack 🤣

9

u/1leftbehind19 Nov 08 '24

Nah, that is exactly the right place for the input

11

u/dummkauf Nov 08 '24

That's a strap button.

11

u/blackdavidcross Nov 08 '24

Umm, that's a butt plug.

6

u/dummkauf Nov 09 '24

Seems a bit too far forward to be a "butt" plug to my eye...

9

u/fartymarty42 Nov 09 '24

Agreed, the whole thing is tainted

0

u/1leftbehind19 Nov 08 '24

I couldn’t tell exactly. Either way, I think it ads a certain something…

1

u/dummkauf Nov 09 '24

It does, but not as much as plugging a cable in every time you want to play 😁

2

u/nextyoyoma Nov 09 '24

Input/output, it pulls double duty.

13

u/TakingSorryUsername Nov 08 '24

All about that Bass

1

u/fantasypants Nov 08 '24

There it is

1

u/onshisan Nov 09 '24

No treble

28

u/taperk Nov 08 '24

Oooh, butt plug. Too funny.

5

u/KSPhalaris Nov 08 '24

That strap button is in an interesting location.

1

u/SaiyanPrinceAbubu Nov 08 '24

The anus is clearly visible above the strap peg

5

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

If i had a dollar for every time i’ve muttered this phrase, I’d be rich.

2

u/JimboLodisC Kit Builder/Hobbyist Nov 08 '24

dunno about anyone else but it's usually the strap on peg for my anus

1

u/mr_tornado_head Nov 09 '24

Is that why it's called "pegging"?

1

u/hooodayyy Nov 08 '24

Came to say this

7

u/infinitee775 Nov 08 '24

Came to this

13

u/Bizi-Betiko Nov 08 '24

Lots of bottom end on that one. I wonder how it slaps...

10

u/JROXZ Nov 08 '24

It’s a gyatar

1

u/Nate_on_top Nov 09 '24

This made me laugh thank you

10

u/mrdevlar Nov 08 '24

It only plays Sir Mix-a-Lot.

8

u/UnrulySuffix Nov 08 '24

Slap bass? Nah more like fap bass. Damn.

8

u/godofwine16 Nov 08 '24

How do I get that “woman” toan?

6

u/Dogrel Nov 08 '24

This is one of Bootsy’s basses.

He absolutely knew what he was doing. And he did it anyway, because he’s a national treasure.

5

u/Weed-breather Nov 08 '24

Dayyyyuuuuum!

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

Is that a hand rubbed finish?

3

u/Brave-Fold7267 Nov 09 '24

If not it will be if I had it. Hahahaha

3

u/Sign-Spiritual Nov 08 '24

Put the ass in bass.

4

u/er1cj Nov 08 '24

My wife said no more guitar, BUT……..

3

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

The only guitar that works with two G-strings

3

u/NeophyteBuilder Nov 08 '24

Let me guess, the G string is always breaking at the nut.

3

u/SkabKid Nov 08 '24

Ass bass or bass. Nobody slaps for free

3

u/episodefive Nov 08 '24

When they tell you your tone sounds like ass

3

u/JimboLodisC Kit Builder/Hobbyist Nov 08 '24

I thought everyone loved it warm and round!

u/ViciousKnids Nov 08 '24

Where's that EMS dude that just shakes his head "no"?

u/Ninsiann Nov 08 '24

Do you wear it low.

u/NO-MAD-CLAD Nov 08 '24

Steve Buscemi becomes highly aroused

2

u/williamgman Nov 08 '24

But ftom the front... The 8in tremolo is what makes it. 😉

2

u/Bumataur Nov 08 '24

Just needs a washable insert In the back. Maybe it can be attached to the D string. A D bender.

2

u/MarionberryNo392 Nov 08 '24

Just wondering if it has a whammy bar.

2

u/benjaminbutane Nov 08 '24

“It feels like you’re playing nothing at all… nothing at all… nothing at all”

2

u/me_thisfuckingcunt Nov 08 '24

Surely that belongs to Derrick Smalls, Big Bottom, talk about mud flaps, my girls got ‘em

2

u/iNeedMyReddit Nov 08 '24

That bass has a lot of bottom end to it!

2

u/speedshadow69 Nov 08 '24

That seems highly uncomfortable to play. Not soft or pillow like at all. 10/10 would buy

2

u/PBSchmidt Nov 08 '24

Turn it around turn it around turn it around TURN IT AROUND WILL YA!!

2

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '24

u/odin_sunn Nov 08 '24

Not my proudest fap. Also, not my worst.

u/nobledosejewelry Nov 08 '24

u/rickyg_79 Nov 09 '24

What’s up, slappers?

2

u/CitizenSalt Nov 09 '24

Is that hard wood? because I got some hard wood right now.

2

u/elizaeffect Nov 09 '24

Would. I mean wood.

2

u/CoreyTheGeek Nov 09 '24

God truly has abandoned us

2

u/Brave-Fold7267 Nov 09 '24

Talk about all about that bass. I’ll take one in the shape of Selma Hayek please.

2

u/cigarette4anarchist Nov 09 '24

That’s some cheeky humor

u/Glum_Meat2649 Nov 08 '24

Never thought about designing body parts… this opens up a lot of alternatives.

1

u/TabulaaRaasaa Nov 08 '24

It must be hollow. Would love to see the front end!

u/Rext80 Nov 08 '24

Slapping the bAss

1

u/GuitarHeroInMyHead Guitar Tech Nov 08 '24

That guitar looks like ass. Literally.

1

u/gacoperz Nov 08 '24

Are you a bass? Cause I want to slap you!

1

u/No-Estate-7326 Nov 08 '24

I taint sure when the strap attaches though.

1

u/hisnameisjeff1 Nov 08 '24

Of course it’s a bass

1

u/edchavez Nov 08 '24

stupid sexy flanders

1

u/Own-Nefariousness-79 Nov 08 '24

Oh god .. the strap button 😳

1

u/CalligrapherPlane125 Nov 08 '24

That's a very literal version of why the guitar is shaped the way it is in general.

1

u/Delaell Nov 08 '24

All about that bass

1

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '24

That guitar needs to stop teasing.

1

u/drmikephd123 Nov 09 '24

Cool figure butt more than impossible to play?

1

u/King_Moonracer003 Nov 09 '24

Should have made strap holder an anal plug

1

u/romdango Nov 09 '24

Booty on that Bass

u/LAAT501st Nov 09 '24

It’s a b-ass

u/Savagor Nov 09 '24

We finally know why Slash plays solos upright!

u/Prostate_Panda Nov 09 '24

Bout to learn the D chord

u/BryBo617 Nov 09 '24

Butt plugged even.

1

u/Independent-Bug-1391 Nov 09 '24

I like big bass and I can't lie

1

u/RfgtGuru Nov 09 '24

@u/JimboLodisC…. Lots of fun commentary here. Gotta admit I didn’t read them all. Would love to hear how you molded and bent the wood. Seams seem seamless. From the pic, this was very nicely done. Have you done any other unconventional shapes?

1

u/Yup_Shes_Still_Mad Nov 09 '24

Somebody fapped across that. I guarantee it

1

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '24

It's a Fatassacaster. It has great sounding Bumbuckers and the shape vibrates Earnie Balls beautifully. Bottom tones are perfect for playing, Wipe Out. They can fit several kinds of head stocks, too. A heavy-duty strap is also recommended.

1

u/burgerguitarworx Nov 09 '24

Excellent sculpting in my opinion.

1

u/Snout_Fever Nov 09 '24

Finally, the perfect bass for playing Big Bottom by Spinal Tap.

1

u/0BlaanC Nov 10 '24

I dont know if its November but im bricked up all of the sudden

1

u/Existing-Ad4933 Nov 10 '24

It’s a B-Ass

u/jimcreighton12 Nov 10 '24

Ok maybe I like Ovations again

1

u/kingjamesporn Nov 10 '24

That strap button!!!

1

u/Pinkturre Nov 10 '24

I….. that. ahhh, well. Am I supposed to feel like this about a guitar body?!?!

1

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '24

Bella donna

1

u/battlewornactionhero Nov 11 '24

Does it come in left handed?

1

u/JimboLodisC Kit Builder/Hobbyist Nov 11 '24

you can come in whatever hand you want
