Basses Named After Car

[iamoldschool]

Check my avatar. Parts of almost every electric bass ever made were named after it. Pickup anyone?

All of the original MusicMan Basses were named after cars: Stingray, Cutlass, Sabre....

What about the Big Al?

Discontinued!

Discontinued!

So is the Sabre.

So is the Sabre.

Yes; both incarnations!

In his defense, he said "original" EB/MM. I'd consider Big Al a much more recent model.

But some of you guys do realize that some of these "cars" were "animals" way beforehand, right? (e.g. jaguar).

The Gibson Firebird went on sale 4 years before the Pontiac Firebird. So was the car named after the guitar?

I think they were both named after the Stravinsky suite.

You mean Kyle?? As in "Spaghetti Westerns"? I thought he was mostly an Upright Jazzer, but if he does play that one...
"HANG 'EM HIGH!"
