Itā€™s a wombat bass. They have a penchant forā€¦creatingā€¦cube-shaped objects.

It has a certain symmetricality. . . at least.

I canā€™t quite dislike this. I guarantee you either Gerald Casale or Fumi could make that bass aesthetic work.

I mean, Casale made the Be Stiff bass work.

And of course Fumi is also very Devo.

(nice SBV-550 she has there)

I love SBVā€™s. They are among my favorite basses of all time.

I really want a SBV-J2. There were Japan-limited with only 100 made. I passed on one last year (#32) because the price was way wrong and the guy had heavily modded it, the fool.

But sweet mother of Jesus. This person modded their (extremely rare) SBV-J2 withā€¦ tort. This is like adding insult to injury.

I am so very disappoint. This person needs to go to Bass Jail.

It has unique controls so a 500 or 550 pickguard will not work on it. This had to be custom made.

Inb4 the side comments that SBVā€™s already look oddā€¦ no shit. Thatā€™s part of what makes them awesome - and if you havenā€™t played one you just donā€™t know why they are so good.

But this tortā€¦ on a 100-run limited edition - this is just wrong.
