oh yeah - sounds great!

Oh nice! Yeah the teal can really change depending on the lighting!

oh nice pic! Gotta love that Trace stuff!

Great idea!

yes its a "bass"...

I don't remember Tony but the Silhouette bass - yes that's it! Funny how baritone guitars are super popular again. Probably the Silhouette looked super modern at that time and not like the trad Fender VI or a Danelectro, so maybe people were a bit stumped by it and it might not fit the "look" of...

I am trying to remember what the original available colors were at the time I got mine. there weren't that many but the trans red and teal seemed exotic at the time and I think teh four strings were available in that finish also. Maybe natural and a burst. The original 5s came out in 1987 but to...

Hey - I was in Auckland. You could get most things back then but more esoteric stuff was usually special order at the time and by esoteric I don't mean Ken Smith or Wal.

Hey there! I was in Auckland. These were definitely special order at the time (as in you could get EB MM stuff in NZ) but none of the fives were readily "in stock" and readily available. I'm not sure who held the importer license at the time. I do remember a few years later being able to walk...

Maybe lol I have four different colored pick guards I swap out on my P bass when I feel inspired!

Thanks!
