So lately iv'e been poking around on various instrument sales websites for giggles and came across this.

This here my good men and women is the Traben Phoenix 5 stringed bass.
That is most likely the coolest looking bass I have ever seen. Not even a Warwick Stage 2 Streamer looks this awesome. Although I wouldn't mind having a Stage 2 Streamer, I'd still pick the Traben over it. If any of you can find a better looking instrument, please post a picture here. I like looking at stuff I cant afford/might not have for a long time.

One day, I'm gonna buy this just because it looks so awesome:

I'm sure you guys know this, but you don't buy an instrument because of the way it looks.....of course unless your just going to hang it on the walk to look at.

Pretty cool but it's still no keytar.

Kind of like these two in particular I have.

I like the guitar that looks like shattered glass/mirror. What's the brand on those two?

Despite the all-knowing musical being I am, I still am ashamed to be around people who buy instruments based on their looks, that is just one of the stupidest things you could do. If it sounds like crap but looks like gold some people will (stupidly) buy the thing. However, the pic I put up was one of the best basses you could get a hold of. Those strings make a great sound and I would personally buy it given I had the extra 2.5 grand on me :lol

Unless you're in show business.

True but unless you're not going to be playing it at all there really is no reason to buy an instrument based on looks.

Washburn PS2000 Blackdiamond & the Rhinestone one is the Millennium.

Well unless you are a collector & are buying as an investment.

Collectors and investors are probably the few exceptions to buying an instrument for looks. Other than that there shouldn't be a reason for it, unless you plan on picking up random chicks in the closest bar with it.

Stradivari's are always nice looking instruments, they sound as good as they look too. Sometimes even better.

Bedazzling guitars is the new thing, didn't you hear?

No Washburn factory made.
The broken mirror is number 83 of 100 & it was the last of that production run to leave the factory.
The Millennium is in fact #1 of 100 & only 43 were made though of this model.

All seafoam green Fenders ever. Especially with matching painted headstocks and especially Jaguars and Jazzmasters... and Bass VIs

Whether or not they're as obnoxious and flashy as the ones previously posted.

I've always been a big fan of Dean. I have a cheap-o little Dean Mini Flying V that I still play sometimes, it's a very smooth playing instrument, it's lightweight, and even though it doesn't have the full set of frets (only 21 I think), it's a great one to play.
My personal baby I own right now is a Fender American Special Telecaster, cost me about 850$, and it's definitely my favorite over any of my others. But I believe that I'd play that Vendetta Resurrection just as much as my Telecaster if I were to own it. Just because I still love my little 125$ flying V, so I wonder what a 500$ guitar could be like? :aok

Nice love the green.
This Fender I found to be interesting.

When I saw the thread name I was expecting blinging altimeters :headscratch:

I also found another bass, this time acoustic, made by Washburn to be decent looking.

I like how they put slots behind the strings instead of a regular round hole.

Mom finally got him to stop rebuilding pianos in the basement and cut back on his woodworking tantrums so he needs a small simple project.
