Show your Les Paul style bass!

Show your Les Paul bass in honor of Mr. Les Paul, who died today.

I've always wanted a Les Paul Signature Bass (basically the prototype for the Jack Casady bass).

Here's Mike Watt with a couple of vintage Les Paul basses:



The one on the left bears Les Paul's actual signature!

RIP Les!!! The creator of the electric guitar!! Which means there wouldn't really be an electric bass without him either would it?

also take time to thank Les Paul for such things as Multi track recording, overdubbing, delay and phasing effects ....best part is, dude did all of this experimental creation on his own dime...RIP Les Paul for 94 years of being a real class act and a pinnacle of innovation! Show those Les Paul logs with pride fellas
