As Seen on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/P-Bass-Left-Han ... 1e881f2ad0 Quote: Cheap Trick inspired Checkered Flag. As you can see, I customized this bass with Duck Tape brand duct tape to give it the awesome look you see. It took over 5 hours to put it on right, and straight as every part had to be removed from the body, and all the blocks have to line up right. It is not as easy as it looks, as I am laying flat tape on a curved guitar body. All that tape should really "capture" the sustain/tone of that body!

"It can be plugged in and played right now, just add neck and strings." |

I've got no problem with the item itself or the price, but I really despair of modern education when I see such bad writing. And I see it all the time. Am I just getting old? Am I a Northeastern ivory-tower, latte-sipping, son-of-a-Volvo-owner elitist??? |

I just added the Volvo bit because I realized that my dad does actually own one. |

5... hours... of... duct... tape... The Volvo thing only counts if there's a roof rack that never actually gets used. |

Yeah, but it has "Duck Tape brand duct tape" and surely that adds a little value. That, and not really knowing what kind of body it is. The saddest thing about this is that probably did take a ton of time, and it probably was not easy at all. I can think of about a million better ways I could spend five hours. To each his own. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |

This bass is perfect for Ska... Seriously, I like weird basses - this is the bass that I play every day. I hand-painted it and it took me two WEEKS to paint... pete Attachment: DSC_0128.JPG [ 185.41 KiB | Viewed 4051 times ] |

I'm pretty sure that's different. What you have there, that took time and skill. It also happens to look completely awesome. 5 hours of putting duct tape on a bass, that just took time |
