The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

The newest tools, but for the studio...Schecter Stiletto Studio (Korean), and a Peavey GV (American).

Crazy good prices on both for such fantastic build quality, playability, and gnarly roar.

Fred Flintstone comes to mind.
Nah... now, the teardrop body guitar showed up in Banana Splits... but there was one cartoon that used a funny polygonal shape similar to yours, though a little longer, and maybe blue. But darned if I didn't search for almost an hour (what else you gonna do in Chemo?) And didn't find it. I thought it was the Jabberjaws band (the Neptunes...) or another Hannah-Barbara band... but no.luck yet.

I am on winter break. Cut me some slack...

The Impossibles are close, but not what I am thinking of... in fairness, it coulda been a long neck keytar... but I can't find it one way or the other...
 
Between 1974 and 1999, I owned 1 bass guitar: the Ric.

Came a time when we weren’t having to squeeze Every dollar until the Eagle gave up…and so I bought this bass, off eBay, for $200.
Prolly Made In Korea…very well built.
The only guitar I own that has a name: The Biggun.

This light doesn’t allow for the way the (certainly not spruce) face has aged to a very pretty dark honey.

Happy to have found tapewounds,
They make it sing!

Can't recognize the headstock logo... What's the Biggun's parentage?

Great pic of you by the water and that tree behind you - that is a pic for your album cover! ! ! ! ! And I know what you mean in past days about squeezing the buffalo nickel till it crys. . . . .

The last of our 5 daze on The Gulf, and the First time we’ve seen the Sun.
…first chance to get a decent shot…

Any and all info/opinions/ fictitional history would be welcomed!

Never let the gawds’ honest truth stand in the way of a good story!

Fun Fact…in the 22 yrs that it has lived with me, The Biggun has Never been plugged into Anything.
