I'm talking to my mother's fiance about a bass, who happens to be a dealer. :)

Depending on a few conditions, it could be at my door in weeks! I'm not picky about finishes, so I'll take the ugly one!

I'm very excited.

:D

Just because something is "ugly" doesen't make it any less desirable!! especially if it's a 'Ray.

Beauty is subjective, when I said ugly, I meant as in something that isn't visually appealing to me-somebody else might love it. Beauty is a nice thing to have, but I'm all about functionality. Don't get me wrong! EB Basses are beautiful too.


in example, I'm not a big fan of egyptian smoke.
But if I could have an ES SR5 HH at my door tommorow, it would be there!
All opinion.

I guess the nice way to say it is:
"I'll take the less desirable color."

Yeah,

I guess there's a few different ways to approach something that may or may not be ugly!!

In fact what happens when something is sooooooooooo ugly it's cute??

Lol

yeah... like chihuahuas, or a pug. :)


for me though... functionality is paramount.

so if it's really horrible, I can see loving it as long as it sounds great.
So ugly it's awesome.

I might even like Egyptian smoke. Hey, it's pretty hot on a bongo!
