The Ugly Duckling/Freak Thread

That thing is an advertisement for the little blue pill. Yeesh!

So I have some blocks of old wood that have sat in my barn. They came with the house and are pretty massive. My idea was to try and create a compact design maybe square or whatever. Probably very ugly but small light and fun to beat around.

Anyway AI can’t seem to even produce a rectangle but I thought these designs were spot on for this thread.

Sorry to double post but I saw this double guitar idea. One side is a bass the other is a guitar. I thought… Hmm, maybe she could be pretty… But then I saw the side profile :face_vomiting: :scream_cat:

Am I understanding this correctly …

  1. the neck is solid with two fretboards, so how do you get your fingers round it ?
  2. you need to be a right handed guitarist but a left handed bassist ?

This does indeed belong in the ugly duckling/freak thread.

That’s what I wondered it looks like a dang fence post. The only thing I’m thinking is it’s small enough that the pic is out of scale and it’s just proportionally awkward.

On the plus side, it doesn’t need a truss rod.

Yea how the heck would that work??? If this guitar had 2 necks back to back with a gap in between it might work I just can’t think resting your thumb on strings would be comfortable as is.

Doubtful.

It’s only 28.5” and doesn’t balance well.

I think someone’s compensating…

DAMN! These are some UGLY basses. Of course, I think a fair number of basses in the other threads are ugly too. :smile: (Don’t worry, I won’t say which.) I guess beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder.

This bass is so heinous I refuse to believe it isn’t the result of some Photoshop sorcery

It’s real as a doughnut.

This thing looks like it was designed by the same guy that built the death star

Do you have another picture with the bridge cover taken off so that we can see the piezo pickups on the bridge? :wink:

Lose a couple of frets and I’m sure they could squeeze one more in!
