The Ritter Roya (I believe it is) 5 string is one insane looking bass, awsome, it does not get any better than that.

Sorry for all those non-basses in there, but I just took this picture last week of the whole family.
Sadly i bought a scary fretless at the car boot sale on sunday for £15 (score) more on that when I have a camera and some time.
For now, just play spot the bass, you should find 3, if there are more please let me know.

You bought a bass for 15 quid? You son of a bitch.

One where do you find the Money?
Two What do you play most?
Three are you Minted?
Four i Love the Rick and all the Jazzes!

The top five reasons how Darkstrike affords his "bass family"

5. He tells other TBers which accessories to put on their bass builds. Because he is totally right, the unfortunate builder has to not only pay for the suggested parts, but is also required to compensate Dark for his consulting advice.

4. He dances at a local male review establishment. His stage name is, "Cash & Prizes". When he's in the UK, his name changes to "Big Fish & Chips". His visible abs and hair-free torso draws a huge crowd. I've tried this route also, but my stomach looks like a bag of flour after a football team with cleats trampled over it.

3. For extra money to fund an occasional accoustic bass, he participates in extreme Japanese wrestling. You know, the matches with barbed wire, metal chairs, and fire.

2. He is Chuck Norris's sparring partner.

And the number 1 reason how Darkstrike affords his bass collection...

He was the genius who came up with the 2girls 1cup video!​

Just took some pics with my new LG enV3 . pix

What color is the pickguard on that SX? It looks like brushed metal...??

 

[Journeyman]

[DaveDeVille]

my '51 / '54 P-Bass ...
. neck and electronics from '51 re-issue
. body is a Warmoth '54 , that i re-finished in nitro Olympic White
{ from ReRanch ...}

 

[JimB52]

I like that one.

 

[Southway]

My 71 EB-3 Short scale. I refer to it as 71/72 because it had a tag with it when I got it that I remember being dated 1972. One source I used to date it said that there were some 71 models not delivered until 72. This one is a factory second and perhaps they kept those longer?

It's been modified. I re-wired it and someone replaced the bridge before I got it in 1980. Looks like a Fender bridge. It also appears that the headstock has been broken off or nearly broken off and repaired.

Also have an Epi T-bird but I haven't shot it yet.

You bought a bass for 15 quid? You son of a bitch.

In my defence it is horrible, but fun.

In my defence it is horrible, but fun.

Some would say, horribly fun!

is that plexiglass you put on there for the pickguard or is it a special clear one? It looks rather thick.
