There very well may be a market for the "faux mildew" aesthetic.

LOL, yeah, I saw this last night. Not my taste. That guy makes and posts a new bass every couple of months. Some look pretty decent others, not so much. Has anyone here purchased one of his basses?

Makes me think that if Terminator played bass, it would be something like that bass. . . If you can imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger doing a Bass Player interview:

BP: Governor, what bass are you playing these days?
AS: Arrrghh, I'm playing a Midnight Howler model with Jescar frets. Get daoowwn! (starts slapping the bass like a maniac).

Bridge alignment looks a little... off...

Anyways, it looks like someone gave that bass herpes. I wouldn't play it, that sticks with you for life.

You guys are super unfair, it is great bass to

1. Match your Frankenstein Halloween costume
2. Commit insurance fraud by claiming your $2000 custom made bass got damaged in the flooding of your basement
3. Make the kids believe you used to play in a psychadelic band in 1969 and dunked it in the bucket of acid your buddy was cooking
4. Smash it in the middle of a dive bar show in front of a crowd of 25 amazed patrons

So stop the hatred people!

I will admit to having played bass on Acid... but a bass with an Acid finish is not the way I want to relive the experience! :lol:

I agree with all the comments great stuff! One pet peeve of mine is why go through all the effort to make a road worn bass but have like new Neck,Bridge, Tuners and Electronics?

Some simulated road worn basses do look great just the really bad ones only have the body road worn.

I just don't get it.
