Yup, it’s a weird dichotomy. I both love my P bass so much that I want to ruin it for anyone else (I put a ding on the back also), and spent 2.5 hours polishing, moisturizing, tightening and changing strings last weekend to make sure I got every nook and cranny on it.

I feel like there’s a song here…
One question, what’s the general temp range on it?

You’re getting warm.

There but for the grace of God goes a bass.
Since the implied goal of this Ugly Duckling/Freak thread is to elicit amusement, astonishment and perplexion, this specimen certainly fits the bill.
Still, no doubt someone somewhere loves it.

I was so happy to get my pristine TRBX604 used when I got it. The day I got it, while changing strings, I put a big scratch right on the front. Didn’t go through the paint, but was there. I learned a big lesson then - the wear we add just makes it ours

You know I was wondering because I could totally see one of these in your collection
(I would dig one too)

I love that the strap is Chewbacca’s bandolier.

I appreciate the attention to detail with the strap and moving the gun turret.

I love it but I’d be way to embarrassed to play it in public!

That thing sort of terrifies me. One that it exists as an affront to all that’s right and pure, and two that I wouldn’t mind messing around with it.
So for my sins I play both bass and Celtic diatonic accordion. It would never occur to me to combine the two. But the bass stuff has made me consider a real mic solution for the accordion (tricky and somewhat expensive to do well - a purely electric signal is a dream by comparison) so I can add pedals.
I guess I could get one of the electronic Roland things at some point, it feels like the keytar of accordions. but does let you practice with headphones.

I think it actually looks really awesome but that’s a lot of pots and knobs. Would not want to wire that. Maybe it’s a PCB mount.
