Do you have a birth year bass?

I had a Kiesel Osiris for a while; after getting the build sheet from Kiesel I discovered that its build date month and day were the same as my birthday. I thought that was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, it wound up being the heaviest bass I’d ever owned (walnut body) and so I wound up trading it in at my local GC. It’s now evidently at the Harrisburg, PA GC:

It’s like nearly everything I dislike in basses rolled up in to one fugly whole.

This belongs in the ugly duckling thread, where I can properly love it, along with all the other castaways and pearls before… um…, well, people who don’t appreciate funky pearls.

I know. It’s like, I wanted to love it, but it is just pushing so many of my buttons.

Obligatory even old heads don’t think old means good comment:

“He confirmed that Rubin tried to trace the kind of equipment used by Black Sabbath in 1968. “I get to the studio, and there are 20 different bloody amps there. He goes, ‘They’re vintage amps’,” Iommi remembered. “I said, ‘That doesn’t mean they sound good; they’re just old.’ He went, ‘Well, let’s try them.’ I tried them, and I didn’t like any of them.””

I have a Fender Jazz 71 neck body but the pots date 72

Being born late December, I will be looking for basses of my birth year and the year after… If I decide to get one
Just gonna say it’s the same age.
