And it's 3 for 3. Musicvox MI-6 bass. And like just about all Musicvox instruments, it's ghastly to behold. Should be called Medusa instead.

Eww, thats pretty hideous.
Aside from everything else- how annoying would the lead be coming out of that jack position?

And then there is this mutant, which to me looks like a torso with the limbs hacked off. Also illustrates one of the main issues with 'inventive shapes' to get it to sit on your knee it needs that extra bar protruding, which always looks like an after though to me.

The Teuffel Tesla is pretty cool if you ask me. The Birdfish on the other hand...

Then again, none of them I would pay the $10k ish they are worth.
So you throw up once on the design aspect and then again at the cash register?
10K? really?

It's just a Steinberger bandwagon wannabe bass. Considering the amount of cocaine the Voldemort management were on at the time and its inspiration, I don't consider it too bad.
At least with this one there is no worries about the shape being copied. I mean its just a block. copyQuote:

From what i understand, it got a quite a good reception from the player group, but the ICC and the BCCI in particular were quick to ban it from the test an ODI arena.Quote:

Ned Steinberger has had a more fruitful collaboration with Emmett Chapman to develop the NS/Stick.

As an aging and no longer fast bowler who also plays bass I resemble that remark :DQuote:

Not happy Jan ( the audience got the joke though )
Was on my VI though so I had plenty of scope to have fun
From the era when Ned had sold the company, and was selling his soul to anyone with an open chequebook. It's kind of funny because 10 years ago when "F" & "G" bought up all their competitors, it was "G" who bought Steinberger.Quote:

This has actually given me an idea, oh yeah!
I hope your not thinking what I was thinking earlier.. I have an unfinished (slightly damaged) JB-4 body that would be a prime candidate to re-shape....Quote:

That'd be a bugger for string changes and fretboard cleaning.

I think a lot of corks are called for - you could put someone's eye out with that one!
Something fishy about this one...

what kind of Tuna's are those?
Shoal-ers.
When guitar design not only jumps the shark...but is a shark....
A couple more ugmos (in my opinion)

A bit on the fence with this one, but have decided I don't like it
