It’s nice, but if you don’t drive to the gig in a Ferrari, you haven’t really pulled all the stops out.
Thanks everyone! I also understand and appreciate that this definitely is not for everyone, haha! I appreciate the positivity even though it's not your jam.
I am a BIG fan of Dimarzios. I have the signature Billy Sheehan Relentless pickups in another bass. I have nice Fender vintage-style pickups in other basses, but these two are really made to be rock/basses, and they fit the bill! The Relentless pairing is just amazing. When run 50/50 together they really sound like nothing else.
The DP127 is actually two humbuckers in one. Pretty hot, really punchy. I dig it.
Fort Lauderdale, born and raised, and Oh-hell-yeah at the Miami Vice theme
The show itself drove me nuts tho
Whenever they had that softspoken guy that was afraid to speak on camara, I would have to turn the volume way up and then when a commercial came on it would blast me out of the room
I didn't watch any episodes with more than one scene with him
Still, those were rockin times, and that's a killer bass, bro
Awesome! I grew up in Miami Gardens, just south of the Dade/Broward line, 3 blocks west of I-95. Thanks!
Dude. I want one SO bad. I am a car fanatic just as much as a bass junkie, and Ferrari is my brand, one billion percent. I actually went to the inaugural Miami GP earlier this year, and wifey and I had some matching shirts made too, haha!
Notice a similar (albeit not identical) color pattern to this bass? Haha!
A yellow 355 GTB is my all-time favorite car design. I know it's not cutting edge any more... but man a 40 valve, 8,500 rpm V8 and a classic gated manual still seems like a thing of beauty even against the backdrop of another 3 decades of advancement.
That was on the wall at Brian's shop. I haven't played that one myself.How is that goofy Stanley Clarke Strat bass?
Let me put my sunglasses on
That's the law around here, you got to wear your sunglasses
So you can feel cool

Very cool. I will say if it was mine I'd probably paint the neck to match.
My first thought (not that anyone cares or that it’s important) was, bubble gum in a pool BUT, I like it. 
Only bass I recall that white pickups looked right.

Your bass really surprises me. I am not a big fan of painted basses but I like your choices.
Funk not only moves... it can remove... dig?

Can you imagine Doobie in your funk?

I used to watch the show every week and I think you are referring to the soft spoken and some what mysterious Lt. Maritn Castille played by James Olmos. I agree, that bass is definitely Miami! OP nailed it.Fort Lauderdale, born and raised, and Oh-hell-yeah at the Miami Vice theme

I like the concept of a J shaped body with a single P pickup. Great work!
