Show Us Your Basses (Part 1)

Yay, got my Warwick back last night. Happy family again.

Everything all fixed. I was hoping they would completely rewire its rats nest. They didn’t, though at least they left the wire tie off so it lo longer is this big tight ball filling the middle of the cavity. Baby steps

Great to hear, @howard . . .

That thing looks amazing. Awesome snag!

Whaa??? That bass is glorious.
Great score.

I’ve seen the bass player of Mutoid Man with the same one but in fluo green, which is not less agressive for the eyes. it’s so 80’s that I could imagine Steel Panther use one.

howard · February 16, 2020, 1:15am

I kind of want one in dayglo yellow and black danger-stripes.

JT · February 16, 2020, 7:05am

You seen the G&L short scale series? Interesting design. Here is the yellow and black one

joergkutter · February 16, 2020, 7:21am

If you go waaaaay back in this thread (to May 18; almost the beginning), there is a similar bass there… with that racing stripe

Jazzbass19 · February 16, 2020, 12:57pm

Good eye, @joergkutter! . . .

It was asantora’s Mustang bass

eric.kiser · February 17, 2020, 3:01am

Yes. I love the way that racing stripe compliments the shape of the body.

Dkuuzzii · February 17, 2020, 4:32am

Ibanez SR300E
Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Special Short Scale
1976 Vintage Rogue (MIJ FujiGen) P bass - (my first bass bought as a teen way back in the 90’s)

howard · February 17, 2020, 4:53am

Very nice! Love the SR, and I was just looking at some FujiGen P-basses the other day. Very high quality basses.

Gio · February 17, 2020, 4:54am

Killer stuff.
And I second what @howard said -

I love the look of that P-bass!!

eric.kiser · February 17, 2020, 5:21am

allanlamonte · February 19, 2020, 6:40am

Just added a new one to the stable…

I just can’t stop playing it! So much fun…and I am enjoying the challenge of fretless…so far ok…mainly bought it for traveling…

joergkutter · February 19, 2020, 9:29am

What is it strung with?? It looks like ligaments pulled out of a horse

terb · February 19, 2020, 9:49am

looks like uke strings

Jazzbass19 · February 19, 2020, 12:10pm

That’s an awesome looking bass you’ve got there, @allanlamonte!

Wish you lots of fun with it . . .
Cheers, Joe
