Another good bunch. Probably some of the same content. I didn't double check. Rock and rollers don't double check. THRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH.

some of those are cool designs (more like a picaso than something meant to be played); but a lot are just odd and unappealing.

What about that Hagstrom 8-string bass? I will find one and play it someday.

i just wonder sometimes if people actually think that someone will buy a silly looking instrument; that guitar prince used to play makes me uncomfortable just looking at it.

my god, that is the funniest thing i've seen in a while. it's clever, but someone was bound to do it eventually. i'd just love someone to "whip that one out" and actually use it live! imagine the audiances' faces.
