What is up with all the signature basses?

He does them sometimes :slight_smile:

But the king of guitarists doing bass videos is Jared Dines.

Oh dear.

New signature version of Hooky’s old BB1200S. $2k, and they are only making 14 or so.

Wow, if they are only making 14 or so, it is a collector’s item… perhaps only 1 or 2 out of the 14 will get played regularly and the rest is “just” an investment really!?!

Are you going for it??? :grin:

Hah! No.

Though I could see myself with a BB734a down the line. Probably my next bass if I decide to move on from the TRBX604.

Signature Bass’s… What the hell,… If they can have their own, I can certainly have mine too!!

Introducing… “The Steel Cable Uni-String Lanny ‘Golden Gate’ Signature Gut Bucket Bass”!!

This “Limited Edition” (1 of 1) ‘Artisan’ (means ‘Ho-Made’) Steel Body (means ‘stronger than wood’) Bass instrument is made from only the finest of available materials… Every component - from the Steel Gut Bucket Body to the Hickory Broom Handle Fretboard, were “Purchased and Assembled” in the USA!

![image|282x500]

The unique Patent Pending Copper Electrical Ground Lug Bridge setup combined with the “Machine Modified” (hole drilled in the middle) Ball brand canning lid provide the combined “Full Resonance” heard only on the “Lanny ‘Golden Gate’ Signature”, and the seal on the lid bridge where it meets the steel body means that the bucket’s “Leak Proof” integrity has not been compromised in any way (means that it can still be used to catch hog guts).

The “String Through” body combined with the Simulated Bone PVC Pipe Nut all connected together with a 1/8” Braided Steel Cable help create that “Signature Lanny ‘Golden Gate’ THUMP”… It just “Keeps on Thumpin’!”

With one hand firmly planted on the solid “Grown in America” Hickory Broom Handle Fretboard, and the other pulling across that 1/8” Braided Steel Bass String,… You’ll truly feel as if you were actually hanging onto a support tower playing one of the cable spans on the “Golden Gate Bridge”…!!

Keep on Thumpin’!

Are you writing ads for Fender in your spare time, Lanny!?! :joy:

That said, I think the Lanny GG Signature is going to be too expensive for my wallet… I will have to wait for the MiM version :crazy_face:

I was the owner of one of the Squier Matt Freeman black P basses. Bought it on ebay for a steal, it was barely used and still had pickguard plastic protection. It was a really nice guitar, I would say nearly as good as a MIM Fender, but my GAS was out of control at that time & I sold it! Bad move!!
I hadn’t heard of Matt before buying it, but liked the Rancid sound, when I researched him, I was a Ska kid from the 1980’s, so got their vibe! At the end of the day though, it was still a Vintage Vibe Squier, but with a signature on it!

So true @eric.kiser Eric!! Then again, being a Georgia boy you’d know that those hog intestines make for some good Southern down home Chitterlings (pronounced “Chit-lens”) - A traditional Southern Holiday treat!

You know what’s sounding good right now is biscuits and gravy, with maybe some grits.

Just can’t get proper southern food here.

@PamPurrs Pam - You do know that it’s called “The Steel Cable UNIString Lanny ‘Golden Gate’ Signature Gut Bucket Bass” for a reason, right?? For you and @joergkutter I would be more than willing to supply you with FIVE Uni-String bass’s, and for Joerg, SIX Uni-String bass’s​:joy::joy:.

Great interview of Hooky where they talk about the signature bass:

Starting to think the “14 made total” I read was BS. But what a cool bass.
