John Taylor Liberates us all!

I wasn't quite sure what to think of these when they came out. Was it supremely brilliant that John Taylor designed a line of Peavey basses that would be sold at...Nordstroms? Or was it sheer madness?

I'm kind of going with the former, if only because I like challenging conventional reasoning about how things should be done, especially for anything music related (my own mission statement pretty much proves that!). I like the idea of music-making being presented as a 'lifestyle', not just as a profession or a hobby. It's a fine line that separates them, but I think JT did a pretty good job of marking it (urm...not like that, pervs!).

But no pretty mullet? Say it ain't so!
