That’s like something you find in an ancient crypt when you discover that prince was actually an intergalactic funk god from space.

[annab]

Bro's straight up brave to be touching that bass like that

[neroinc]

Prince up in heaven yelling “don’t touch my bass!”

[ingridbalanica]

the way he handles it makes me tear up

[jessemelendez]

What a beautiful instrument., it's a wonderful piece of art and history. It almost seems sacramental to even touch it let alone play it.

[thebowtie]

I’m a sucker for purple, and i love gold. In an alternate universe i’d have started playing bass much earlier and saved up for a replica of this

[BreadandFaxes]

"sounds insane"

Plonks 5 notes

[thephony]

Prince, from Heaven: “STOP MOLESTING MY BASS!”

[CaptainBlueShell]

Prince's Bass.... This definitely deserves respect and to be very carefu-"What do these do!?" Smears fingers literally everywhere....

[micahcastillo]

“Sounds INSANE!” I wouldn’t say that exactly. It sounds like a well tuned bass guitar. It’s definitely a piece of art. But I wouldn’t say from the eight or so notes the guy played that it sounds any different from any other bass guitar.

[mishegoss]

Next time we see. It will be in museum. Never ever to be touched or played again. True peice of art.

[editorrbr]

LOOKS insane.
SOUNDS like a kid at Guitar Center with an active bass off the rack.

[inspectorbudget]

Damn I wish we could've heard Prince play that at least once...

[SevenGC]

Even if you know absolutely nothing about bass it's so easy to appreaciate what a beautiful piece of craftmanship this is. I have always loved the look of Carbon Fiber on instruments looks. What I love most is the way everything in back in hidden, so beautiful!

[cheapdope]

That was actually owned by prince?
I wouldn't even touch that thing without gloves on.

[kingofhearts]

As much as I would love to, I’d be SOOO anxious but weirded out and afraid to play it, even though I play bass.

[resettheworld]

Wasn’t even playing to judge the sound of this instrument. But I think this is the most beautiful instrument I’ve ever seen.

[cennedystv]

Honestly it sounds like an average active bass, not particularly insane but not bad either. Sonds like my Ibanez.

[IRL_Nacht]

I saw the finger smudge being imprinted I’m fucking furious I’m going to sleep

[secondfavoritecolors]

Hahahahaha and he just smears his fingers on it and proceeds to literally touch every single surface on it
