Picked this up for a song and don't know what it is! Amazing playability, I actually like the feel better than my Century. Top is really nice, ultra thick piece of wood. Some crazy 80s metal looks though!

On a similar vein, and something I was thinking about, when did ya'll start making basses. Earliest I can find is '87.
I did find a pretty "unique", "metul" Roscoe made for Hank III, which made it all worthwhile even without concrete answers.

It was pretty cool.

Man, not to go off topic too far, but... wouldn't it be cool to have a thread that names all the big names Keith & Co. have made instruments for over the years? I know there's still a prototype in G'boro of a guitar that they were making for Malcolm Young (AC/DC). Gard can correct me, but I think they were right in the middle of that project when the guitar production halted as bass sales overtook guitar sales...
These days it pretty much Jimmy Haslip that we hear about (not that there's anything wrong with that!)... but I'm sure there's a rich history of other big-time names that it'd be fun for us more recent converts to hear about... |

Like the Explorer Bass with the monkey grip I saw on FB, or I'd utterly love to see the completed pics of Hank III's bass.
