"Ethel"...my '86 Washburn B-50 has been all over the place with me over the years and she got the scars to prove it. Still use it, though "Ethel" is very hard to contain.

The pic is quite blurry, but it sort of looks like Aria Pro II.

I've got a pointy bass! It's a Squier Katana, which my wife got for me this past Christmas. It basically is a pointy, V-shaped P-Bass. It arrived with dead strings, but sounded excellent after I put a new set of strings on it.

here's a better picture of the Aria.

I couldn't identify the model. Maybe try the Aria Pro II club. Someone there must have information on this model.

Aria & Aria Pro II Club (Part Three)

Looks like a toned-down Rhoads V. Very cool!

I had a BC Rich NJ series Beast that was stolen back in the 80's if I had it I would still be playing it no doubt other than serious neck dive ( strap button relocated) it was a great player.

only other point one is my Dean Holly Wood Z which play it often at home at it seems some shows during the year

Pointy basses as a concept will always be cool IMO. It's just WHICH pointy bass that looks cool...

Explorer-shaped is my favorite. The Mockingbird and Bich are very close 2nds.

I also have a weakness for pointers. Iceman Neck Through I picked up last year as well as a vintage Black Mockingbird

I think. Aria Pro IIs are pretty nice basses even though the owner of that one didn't like it.

Again

They might be BC Rich 8 string basses.

Bernie was making some way cool guitars.

Wait a minute. Are you a switch hitter or just a collector? There are both left and right handed basses there, right?

mournblade · #34 01-17-2013, 09:51 PM

LOL, I know of Amimbari from a couple forums, he is a lefty who plays right hand basses upside down. LOL, asking if he is a switch hitter could be taken the wrong way.

amimbari · #35 01-18-2013, 04:39 AM

hahaha no, I knew what he meant

and yes since I can play inverted or normal strings....all basses are fair game to own. ( I just use the leftys on stage so I don't look like a dork )

here's most of the leftys, naturally all with pointyheads.

and another one I don't know what to do with just yet:
