love that mustang. there is something so much better about a bass that has been loved and shows it than something shiny and new.

ya!!!!!!!! my ol man said the reason the original pickups are not im mine is because he hit some dude in the mouth in tucson az with the bass. apparently he was onstage and some drunk guy standing infront of the stage was acting crazy, so my dad swung the bass by the headstock and hit him with the body! needless to say he wound up goin to jail. from what my mom said my dad was always getting into fights ha ha. so i guess i could prolly say mine has teeth marks too.

Wow, it sounds like your Dad was quite the Badass.

Love that P

That Mustang on page 2, what a beauty!

This is my Fender JV from 1982. Not that worn down, but it has been in Japan for a long time, and I guess the Japanese air has been hard on it

The White one is my friend's '71 refin-Precision. Ignore the Sunburst 2002. It's still got a few miles of road to put in.

Wow, how does a bass get that much mojo? It looks like it was buried in the backyard for 10 years.

Late '60s Hofner 500/4
No longer mine

Currently owned by TBer Poman. He's smart enough not to sell it back to me.

This is Zelda. I was really, really an irresponsible metalhead in my youth. Glad she's still with me, and sorry for my churlishness.

1962 P bass refin w/ added J PU - it has some wear over the finish that's tough to see - I'm workin' on it.

1975 P w/ added J PU

I bow to you, oh lord of the Rics! that is a well-loved, often-played, hard-hit, gone-to-hell (aka Cincinnati)-and-come-back Ric bass, dude. THAT is why God gave us the bass guitar. Awesome dude.

 

[OPBASSMAN1994]

You know what sucks....all the modern basses you can get now(save maybe Ric and the occasional American Fender or a Highway One Fender) are so soaked with Poly, that nobody can acquire this kind of natural, aged beauty.

It's way less beat up than my new(ish) Nash J. The marks on the top side of the pickguard is about 1/2inch deep
