Phoenix.JPG
Beat up and beer soaked Electra Phoenix X630. Bought new in 1981, still play it. De-fretted it about 1983 (have had to re-urethane the fingerboard once), added the Leo Quann Badass and routed in a bridge p'up about the same time (currently an MIJ Fender jazz bass). Stock Matsumoku P pickup, and very very powerful. This bass has balls, though it is rough around the edges
