A beginner bassist's foray into the unknown

Bass Ackwards

This is a picture of a weird bass I came across on the internet.

Its like they made it backwards and turned the head into the body and the body into the head; then they did some voodoo head-shrinking magic on the new body-head. And it only has two strings. I imagine that its probably not too much fun to balance, but it sure leaves an impression. 😉

[edit 5/4/2011] Learned this on the Talkbass forums: That weird bass belongs to Stig Pedersen from Danish rock band D-A-D. Stig designs his own basses with only 2 or 3 strings because he only uses the E and the A strings when he plays!

[edit 10.18.2011] My Strange Bass Gallery has images of more of Stig’s basses, as well as other interesting ones from around the internet.
