Mother of God

What's Hot
stufisherstufisher Frets: 612
in Bass
I'm not a bassist and don't know anything about such but I saw this vid clip earlier and thought, "Mother of God ... WTF is that grotesque, monstrosity James Warren is playing?"

Given the irony of the song title I figure he should have known better (no reference to or pun about PhD or Jim Diamond intended).

Can someone please put me out of my misery?

    I quite like the '1980s futuristic' look. It's certainly far from the ugliest bass I've ever seen...

    I did see a version of The Korgis at a festival in 2018. Two original members left I think, don’t remember that bass being there. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    According to the link above, he sold it to Curt Smith of Tears For Fears some time before 2007.
