I try to make sense of how this came to be :


- It was a guitar w Telecaster-style bridge % pup
- Bass bridge was mounted further back to allow use of longer bass strings
- Second pickup was added to available space
- In order to make it 8-string bass - wooden train track was added to provide place for additional tuners - why 3 instead of 2 or 4 . . .
- Kalimba and another pup mounted

Would REALLY like to hear what music the owner creates - might be a VERY positive surprise 🎼

OK, this doesn't really count as a "mod," as it's purpose built, but I'm still horrified. By the object in general, and the fact that somebody tooled up to make it.
[no, I didn't go looking for this, it came up in a sidebar when looking at the T-250 that was posted earlier]

Yeah, Nuuska... There's definitely a purpose to these mods, ugly as it is, and it really be interesting to know what it was used for and how someone would play it.

New opinion about monster in #263

It was originally bass

Found video where it is used - have to admit, that though I'm fairly open-minded when it comes to experimental music, this is nothing to my taste . . . 😂

Man, those scalloped fretboards are nutz, GG! The one on the red one, above, looks very well done. I take it these folks don't use capos. :)

If I saw a woman playing it I could see it as a punky reclamation of male tropes about female sexuality. If I saw a dude playing it I’d be very suspicious about him.
