My 1957 P Bass probably has 250,000 K miles on it Lol.. And my Acura and Pearl white Power Jazz Bass Special match but the bass is across town at a friends studio. And I don't own a Woodie.....wish I did cause it would match half my basses!

There was a thread similar to this, but despite my many searches, I can't seem to find it. So, I'll just start my own! ;)

That is to say, I wanted to, but I set down my basses and a six-stringer for just a moment. Now I can't find them for the life of me! Somebody help!! :eek: :D

These are my "Three Amigos"…a trio of Squier Standards; a Jazz, an HSS Stratocaster and a Precision Bass Special, all in a Satin Pewter Metallic finish. Mad Love for the matching headstocks! drool

Oh, and if you're wondering about the car, it's a 2005 Jetta TDI. Gotta love that 40+ MPG! :thumbsup:
What...NO P?
 
There was an episode on Jay Leno's Garage where he interviewed a guy that made guitars to match cars. He showed a couple of examples and they were really cool. I've also seen guitars on Pinterest actually shaped like cars,ie the finned 1/4 panel of a 57 Chevy and a late 50's Caddy. Those are sweet!
 
The closest I have is matching bass and cab:


(pay no mind to the hacktastic paint removal skillz, or whatever the heck is going on in my garage)

And while I did own one of these, I never had a bass that matched it (whataloser):

My CV 50s P has a four pole piece pickup, is passive, and when you push it hard it sounds growl-y. Playing ska punk makes me happy.
My Pug 206 has a four cylinder engine, is NA, , and when you push it hard it sounds growl-y. Driving it whilst listening to ska punk makes me happy.
(But I wish my car matched my jag or ray ;) )
