For G Bass North

Twist my arm.

OK, OK, OK ouch....that hurts.....

Here ya go, I was kind of going for this butterscotch weathered original from the Fender Archives:

Came up with this:

Sorry it doesn't look like it was dragged behind a tow truck, but keen observation will reveal the one up top doesn't either.

I'm not sure who built it (I want to say his TB user name was Dark something?) but it was a Bo Didley style homebuilt rectangle bass made from an old sign with a belt buckle for a tailpiece. It was his TB avatar for awhile. Wish I could find it. I think he lived/gigged in the Nashville area. Anyone? Would love to see a photo of that bass again. It was too cool.

Ok, time for another biased post
Here's mine

Man there's a lot of beauty in this thread, but where's the Platinum Ritter?

I don't think I've posted this one yet. It's my 1998 Alembic Essence 5 in highly figured Tiger Maple. I just put some new La Bella White Tapes on her and man does she sing!

ahhh, not again. last time i saw this bass i had to go lay down because i was overwhelmed with GAS.

hehe not really, but it's like seeing the girl you always wanted in high school, 10 years later, and you realise that she's now married.

Not to get too off topic, but I really like the new TB website! I didn't like it at first, but now I know how to get around. What I especially like is the fact that the email notifications I get include the text and pics of the new post I'm being alerted about, so I can choose to open it up or just look in email.

That's amazing. There is a lot going on without being distracting.

Yum! I've been looking for years for just the right buckeye burl top bass. It hadn't even dawned on me to look at the Sadowsky line up. Thanks for posting your beauty queen!

Nice wood ... desert camo.

 

[Solarmist]

They can be nice on top, too.

Munji I'm almost drooling! Man I love a great spalt finish. That's one of the very nicest looking basses in this thread. Wowza.

 

[Funky Ghost]

I've always been a fan of the BB3000 and 5000. This is a stunning example imo

I still find this to be one of the most unique, beautifull basses I've ever seen. That paint scheme is sick.

Thanks! Its not only beautiful, but sounds great. Since having it, I've sold off all except one 4-string Jazz that has sentimental value. This bass is for all intents and purposes my 'single' bass.
