Markus Bass: I really like your guitars. Unusual and classy.
knigel: Before I saw the second pic, I thought YOU were responsible for that camo. Close call.

Anyway, here's my other axe. My friend had this old piece of junk Crate, and he's somewhat of an artist so he Sharpied-up the pickguard. Then he decided he didn't like playing guitar, so he pulled off all of the electronics and the bridge, threw it all away, and gave the hunk of wood to me. Why the heck he did that, I don't know, I would have loved to be able to plug this thing in. But I am worthless on guitar, so I bought a new bridge and restrung it to more closely resemble an instrument I'm more familiar with. Now I fool around on it time to time, switching between my crazay bass fingerstyle playing and strumming two-finger power chords.

Maybe two years later, he decided he DID like playing guitar, and bought himself an Epiphone LP.
 
Me rockin' my '66 Jag pre-low-end-conversion:

edit: That's a real '66er, btw, refinished in LPB (by a previous owner)... as much as I hardly ever put down the bass anymore, I still give her a little playing time every now and then... killer instrument.
