It was made of a beautiful, but still unknown, blue gem  stone that created such amazing sustain that the note they played when  closing the sarcophagus was still ringing when it was opened.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v701\/SDWGoph\/Mummy.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The bass was hidden away in a remote part of Hawaii to protect its  existence. When Elvis was filming Hunka Hunka Hawaii, he stumbled upon  the bass while hooking up with one of the extras in the deep brush. He  fell in love with the bass and it\u2019s unique tonal qualities. Many did not  know that Elvis was a ferocious slap bass player. He loved the bass so  much, he had the producers rename the movie to Blue Hawaii. They shot  the original posters for the movie (and incredibly rare version it  pictures below), but realized he had stumbled upon the sacred bass and  needed to protect its existence. They took the bass away, but kept the  name of the movie intact.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v701\/SDWGoph\/elvis_blue_hawaii.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The bass was kept secret until Bill Gates discovered the original poster  for Blue Hawaii. He was so amazed by the bass that he vowed to use its  color for all future Windows operating systems. To this day, the color  blue is incorporated into every Windows interface. In fact, the term GUI  was originally Bill Gates acronym for \u201cGenuinely Unreal Intonation\u201d. It  was later changed to Graphical User Interface to cover the tracks of  the existence of the bass. Bill Gates eventually convinced the group  responsible for keeping the bass a secret to sell it to him for  $10,000,000,000. He promised to build an enormous home in Seattle to  protect the bass in the lower catacombs of his mansion that is more  secure than NORAD.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v701\/SDWGoph\/bill-gates-1983.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like any truly geeky computer nerd, Bill has a weakness for living,  breathing beautiful woman. As a tradeshow, he was introduced to Megan  Fox while she was signing autographs for Transformers 2. He was totally  smitten and tried everything to get a date with her. When all else  failed, he decided to give her the renown \u201cBlue Bass\u201d in trade for the  opportunity to actually touch her thigh. She excepted, took the bass  home, hung it in her bathroom and had decorators design the room around  the color of the bass. One day, while taking a bath, the bass fell into  the tub. The unique harmonic quality of the bass caused the water to  vibrate with frequencies she\u2019s never experienced before or since. Before  long, she was missing filming schedules due to her \u201cdozen a day\u201d  bathing habits. It got so bad, her long time boyfriend broke off their  relationship. Seeing the trouble it was causing in every facet of her  life, she threw the bass out the window and got her life back together.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v701\/SDWGoph\/MeganFox.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It just so happened I was in LA and stumbled upon a homeless person with  this beautiful instrument in his shopping cart and asked it I could buy  it. $75 later, I came into possession of the bass. Not long after, I  was being tailed by black helicopters and SUVs. I finally stopped and  asked what was going on and was told the story of the bass. I threatened  to go public if they didn\u2019t back off and they left me alone.<br \/>\nThis week, I realized I was not truly using this bass to its full  potential and decided to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy the  wonder that is \u201cThe most amazing bass on the planet\u201d. I\u2019m only asking  what I have into it. So here\u2019s your chance to own an unbelievable part  of history. Don\u2019t wait too long, or they might come for it again.<\/p>\n<p>Clarification: It is a Brownsville Bass. This is a great sounding  (active pickups) and great playing bass. There is a ground issue I have  not been able to track down, but it&#8217;s not overpowering and may be an  easy fix. Either way, its a great bass for the money.<\/p>\n<p>I am always honest on my sales and welcome you to come try the bass  plugged in so you can play and hear it. I bought a bass that fits my  needs better and I don&#8217;t need two.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the story line and know you&#8217;ll enjoy the bass just as  much.
