Looks like something Prince would play (if he played bass) :D

Why in gods name are you looking at 5 string basses? :confused:

I'd venture to guess that Prince does play bass. I think I read somewhere that he plays close to 30 instruments.

Oh, and these are horribly ugly, Gros. :p

That red one is awesome, I could shred & kill all at once :D

Who's the maker, Gros? I wouldn't mind checking out some of their stuff in person - it may look a little quirky, but I bet they play AWESOME! :D

Oh and Dylan, you're right, Prince likely does play bass, the man breathes & bleeds music... but he doesn't play on stage so what I meant was he'd have no need for anything as insane as this ;)

Hmm, yes with that red guitar you could shred as you rode down the lists, aiming for the knight advancing towards you.
Hi Ho, Lancelot! I'll fell thee with my trusty...guitar.
Some of the ESP guitars artist models, on their Japanese site, are of this "style". Really scary, yet cool at the same time. :eek::eek: But not for me.

At least they aren't another Fender "knockoff".

Prince does play bass. There's vid of him up on YouTube. And yes, those basses are awful looking.

Awfull looking with a handle to swing them around.
Awfull price tag as well....average at about 8,000 Euro a piece.
I won't loose any sleep over that. :):):)

Haven't you heard the term battle ax not referring to your mother in law? (or "vintage weaponry) if your into that whole thang)
