Quote 27 Sep
A chord is not a chord until the bass player decides which note to play.

Photo 27 Sep Ritter ‘Royal Flora Aurum’
“The most expensive bass guitar in the world,” valued at about $250,000 (or £150,000 in real money). Features a body calved from ‘rare’ quilted maple; a floral inlay made of 24 carat gold and black diamonds set in platinum; 3,3 carat cut diamonds mount the knobs and the nut is made from a piece of 10,000 year old Mammoth ivory!
For all of that, I think it looks a bit crap.
