That’s one way to stop you looking at the fretboard. I think I’d get dizzy staring at that!

Pizza master, and an old Ampeg??
I’d be so happy eating pizza and listening to loud bass music.

You live a good life!

If I got a bass like that, I’d feel compelled to seek out that backdrop. They go together perfectly.

It’s a 1976 handcrafted custom with a price tag of $48,000.

But shipping is free, so it’s got that going for it. :joy:

I love on reverb that the first time they drop the price on things like this, it’s not like price drop 10% it’s like price drop $18,000 off :rofl:

Well for $48K I’m definitely getting the curtains. I’d also request a gig bag and a months subscription to songster, just to mess with the seller :smile:

@KitCrsn That was project number 15, made in my shed from Iroko and Beech. Loosely based on a Fender Meteora body, a Fender Jazzmaster headstock but a MusicMan tuner layout, and a Danelectro style pickguard. Passive pickups - split Precision, Music Man and Jazz (all of Leo Fenders best work), volume for each coil + master tone. Since the body is only 22mm thick the jack socket is an inverted Stratocaster. Super lightweight, with a 38mm nut width. 30" scale length. Picato flatwound strings.

Free shipping too, pretty good deal. I thought the mini history they listed was interesting. How it was stored away in the basement, parts thrown away, parts retrieved from the trash and eventually refurbished and reassembled over the course of a couple decades. I wonder if Paul or Ringo are on the list of bidders.

At the risk of turning this into a Bass players’ “Readers Wives”, I thought I would add a pic of my Squier P. I’m putting it up for sale so I had a mini photoshoot done and some of the pics came out quite well :slight_smile:
