Odd Ball bass roundup

[Rattfink]

I've got several odd basses that I would like to collect. I know there are other collectors out there. So, I would like to know what odd and unusual basses you have, or would like to have. I'm not talking about a 68 Fender P (great bass, but not what I'm talking about). So give my your list, or better yet show us your unusual basses.

Guild B-302
Ovation Magnum
Watkins Rapier
Kramer DMZ 6000
Peavey t-40

1971 Hayman 40/40. Made by Dallas Arbiter in England for a few years.
Some cool features- Zero fret, Perspex bridge, 1940s style stove controls
Great P-Bass like tone.
Came with original case and smoked plexiglass covers.

Dean Motto. I bought this a few weeks ago. New they were $500...I got it for half that.
Smooth satin finish neck and maple fretboard.
Black hardware looks really nice.
J-hot pickups sound great.
You don't hear too much about this one, but it's a quality jazz bass, believe me.

I like the almost Ric shape.

Every time I see the X-702 I get the WOW factor

Just picked this one up this week.
Yamaha SBV500, re-issued in 1990, based on a 70's design.

Love those, almost bought an original one about 6 months ago at one of my favourite shops.

I see your SBV500 and raise you a 67 (-ish, I think, it's hard to find real info on these) SB7A!

Not sure the Peavey is in the same league of weird as the others, but nice collection.

I had one of these... until the guts fell out of it on stage. Input jack disintegrated.

I would love to have a Vox Fantom. This car left a big impression on me when I was a kid, and the shape just says vintage 60's

I also like the Danelectro long horn

Do Wal basses send that Fathers Day cards? If not, they should...

What was the input jack used for?

 

[dmac1961]

Damn.....if this isn't a GAS inducing thread, I don't know what is!

 

[Double E]

I don't have a weird enough bass to post here...but I like this thread too!
