Cool bass, brother!

 

[martyman5000]

thanks I'm on the hunt for another one

 

[Scott in Dallas]

If only I had a picture of my Rudy Sarzo Washburn. That's the ultimate 80's bass. I've still got these two:

What's my numbah?

Late 80's-Early 90's Fender HM5 (pic on right is the stock, original 'hair band' color scheme).

 

[DanGouge]

My 1989 fretless J gets me into another club!

That is a gorgeous refinish job you've got there! White and pearl - it looks like something a boutique jazz bass manufacturer would turn out.

Thanks Dan! Your comment's right on. Mike Lull did the work...so I guess a boutique jazz bass manufacturer did 'turn it out'!

I think this one makes me a member of this selective club. It is pretty 80-ish but I don't know exactly when it was made

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

I'm pretty sure that my recently acquired Peavey T-40 is an eighties model, but I will confirm it as soon as I receive its D.O.B. from Peavey.

Below are the pics I have handy of my basses. All of them are super as far as I'm concerned.

At the bottom some others linked from other pages. It's a poxy day here today so I don't feel like going out and snapping pics in the bad light, but I will sometime over the weekend if someone desperately wants to see my particular basses.

My 88 Kubicki and my 86 Guild Pilot 5 string....

Loving the Kubicki! I used to have a white one too!

 

[gweimer]

I think I can squeak in on this one. Here's a pic of my son with my '81 G&L L-1000. Appropriately in pink...

[Twiggeh]

jaw-dropping finish andy, i love it!

 

[andysvec]

hey, thanks!
yeah, the graphic is what drew me to it, I remember in the 80s I always wanted a bass with some cool graphic like I would see everyone play on MTV but never bought one at the time. This was one of those factory bcrich graphics, someone has told me that they saw the same finish on an ironbird bass before too.

 

[southshoreconor]

i want in!! 84 peavey t-40. pictured on the right.
