I quit 5 years ago but my Guess is more than $10.

 

[Real Soon]

That ain't cool, that is ICE COLD, broheezy.

Congrats on quitting.

Ultra cool. Wish I had one!

 

[Oldschool94]

Great looking bass. Also, nice handle.

 

[OldSchool50]

Really nice, and medium scale no less

Should post this bad boy in the medium scale club if it's your first medium

Will do, Thanks for the suggestion

 

[blindrabbit]

That's not just cool, it's Fonzy cool.

I'm tempted to add this to my sig.

 

[west al]

Very Nice. Congrats.

Darn, that's a good idea. HOpe you don't mind if I steal it!

Nah man, go for it!

 

[the harp unstrung]

I actually did steal it...your gallery of beautiful pictures of that beyond-cool bass... and added them to the slide show that rolls across the screen 24/7...I put them up front so I might get a glimpse more often! Gorgeous!

 

[OldSchool50]

Thanks 47th streets. . Glad to know those pics are bringing a warm 50's glow to so many.
I"ve had several pms asking me if i'd sell it but must report that I'm going to hold onto it and give it a good run and see it if fits my life. If I do decide to put it up, I'll post a note here.
I'm taking it for a professional set up (I'm good with Fenders, but not these bridges) and should get a real feel for what it can do. I'm loving the medium scale so far.

Must be a tough decision. Best of luck with your sale, wish I was in a position to take a run at it! I can't see this lasting very long though...

Cool old school hot rod pin striping ala Von Dutch
I bet it's paint done by hand with a lettering brush

 

[OldSchool50]

Thanks Jim C. That's interesting. I'm going to really check it out. You've got me curious. I've got an artist friend who can probably tell if it's painted on. That might change my enthusiasm for selling in.

 

[OldSchool50]

I checked really closely in great light and it looks like JimC is right, hand painted pinstriping! I'm going to try to track down the artist.

Could be this guy, Hot Rod Walt

Looks like he signed it at the end near the bottom strap pin, anything like that anywhere on yours?

Eh, after comparing some of his stuff with your bass I don't think it's him.
