The 80's Basses Club

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Top three:
- the Schecter "California Custom" B/4 is from '85 or '86
- the Steinberger L-2 is from '82
- the Modulus Graphite Quantum-6 SPX is from '88 (well, the build was started in '88, but not completed/delivered until January '89)


fwiw, the Ibanez ST-980 at the bottom is either from '79 or '80, but since I no longer have it (sold it to TB'er Hemitom) it doesn't really count anyway.

Just because of looks (Don't know about their playability/tone) I'd love to have one of those, but with the banana-style headstock:
