Dude. Not my style, but WOW! Do NOT sell this bass until you're 77. You'll regret it every single day! This is a rock and roll [del]motherfu[/del] son of a bass!!

Yep, gotta admit, I'm a vintage Fender guy, and something about this bass trips my "sexy pole dancer" trigger.

No worries on that. The o ly time in my life I was ready to sell it was when i was trying to get the money for an engagement ring. I couldnt sell for a decent price, it did allow me to know there are at least 5 more out there. 1 with morbid angels bassist in florida, two in austin tx bands, and 2 in hawaii with the big dog collector of takamine. It doesnt sound amazing to me personally but man is it fun to play. It just.... makes me play better. Its always been nicknamed "The Deathbass"

Thank you! I wish it played as good as it looks...just something about that stringcoating i can't get used to. Too rough on the fingers for me, allmost sticky, it slows my playing down. Maybe ill have to give it some more time.

Parts: Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision bass body, Mighty Mite Jazz bass replacement neck, Seymour Duncan Basslines pickups, and to give it a punk vibe, custom decals I created through an online service.

Ive never really liked the round common bodies of basses but i really like that bomber bass. Has a great theme. Id love to see a sharkmouth painted into the headstock

I haven't played this bass in a long while,I had done some mods to make it look more like a V63 but didn't like it. So I took inspiration from the front cover of the Rickenbacker bass book, & changed it to a V68 "style". I'm loving this bass again & it's staying like this.

My main bass is my 2001 MIM Agave Blue P-Bass.

About 3 weeks ago, the strap slipped off and the bass took a nasty tumble. I was pretty upset. It's almost a plastic-esque shell, so I'm not sure how/if I can fix it. Of course, the color isn't made anymore. I have a friend who has a brother who works at a car shop. Closest he could get me was a Ocean Gray. It might be decent enough to fix up the paint, though. But...gah! Frustration.
