C'mon bro - just chuck on some star shaped glasses and a bright coloured shiny/sparkly/metallic flared jump suit and you'll be feelin' the funk Bootsay style!!! :wink: I'm sure you've got a few tucked away in your wardrobe!

How could you not get your funkadelic groove on with an axe like that?

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Yeah... I'd go for it, I'm enough of a showoff to get off on a bass like that one.

Mind you... black? I'd rather some other colour or even natural woodgrain.

This liangq character raises a red flag on my bullshit detector. Didn't this trader feature in the TM Madness thread a month or two ago with something like a Gibson Robot LP or some other unlikely guitar?

Yeah Bootzilla!!! You totally have to respect someone who can wear/play anything that ugly and make it look/sound cool!!! Bootsy's the Man!!! He pulls it off better than George Clinton - the Funkfather looks like some old dude in weird clothes but Bootsy somehow makes it work. As for me? Only at Halloween!

I think he had a Stereo Mem Man with Hazarai that was bordering on new but a bit cheaper that people here were discussing.
