I just watched that movie last week.

nottaBass, but when i saw it today i thought of this thread & “yeah… but why?” came to mind

[John_E]

This is ugly but…… I love the brilliance of the idea. “A guitar that’s just a pickguard”. Love it for that.

[jason74]

haha… and you know somebody’s gonna buy that

[Reo]

I had to look twice, was it an optical illusion? Or see through body? Nope
Why???
I can see the artistic design reasons, but to actually produce it and expect sells

[RuknRole]

I wonder if it’s the gold medalist for neck dive!

[jason74]

[jason74]

I’m in NYC for the weekend and popped into a Sam Ash for fun and saw this Batman Bass hanging on the wall. Never heard of Scorpion before.

I was debating putting this in bass porn but it’s not my style. But one bassist’s freak is another’s porn eh?

[RoyB]

Upon closer inspection, I think what pushes it from porn to freak to me is the pick guard. The three separate pieces look like they were just schlopped on there.

I prefer pick guards that are a single piece like the PJ above it. I think even the jazz style pick guard turns me off a bit.

Not so much air guitar as Where Guitar.

[John_E]

How much was it going for?

[RoyB]

I think about $600 or so

[Mac]

[jason74]

[MikeC]

A custom ‘steampunk” Dean.
Check out the “low” (relative to airplane flight altitudes) action.

[JustTim]

Yikes. It would take a whole beat just to push the string down to the fretboard.

To be attached to the back of your headstock. Really Ibanez?

[jason74]
