Pretty sure it's a p bass with T-bird pickups

Well okay but still gimme.

Thanks!
Despite the Fender being #1 for so long

The G&Ls are kind of "home" to me.
Something about the tone and feel is "it" for me.
The Ric is a hard left turn, but a really cool bass.

What a beauty! What model is that?

Black Daggers on the Ibby?

DR Black Beauties. I might try daggers on the droc though.

I don't post often... but when I do I make it count. I've added to my collection...

Last month I drove to northern Indiana to purchase my holy grail of bass guitars. And here it is...
A 1981 Rickenbacker 4080/6 in creamy white with black pickguards. It's the same kind that Geddy Lee would use live for A Passage to Bangkok. I got this sick custom hard shell travel case with it (complete with Starman decal) you can see in the background.

Thanks again to @Blackhawks55
He made the purchase nice and easy. She's in a good home, just like she was before. Once I get a recording setup together I'll post some videos and show you all how this thing growls. It's a monster.

So glad you are enjoying that beast! I know it's in great hands... Enjoy it in good health!

I've got Black Daggers on my current multiscale and they sound and feel great - but the finish is wearing off pretty hard. They're definitely not made with picking in mind... I was curious just because I can't tell if there's any wear on the strings!

I pick hard fast and often on the BBs. The only spot I've seen it wear is on the underside from the frets, and it's minimal

Black daggers are long scale. I’m pretty sure Payson doesn’t have a med scale set

It started out life as a American Hot Rod Precision, which I bought in 2001.

In 2014, I had it overhauled by Mike Lull, refinished in gloss kerry green w/matching headstock, a new white pearloid pickguard, and Mike Lull T-Bass pickups.
Rewired for master volume, pickup switch, and master tone.

It sounds absolutely huge.

My new to me Growler 4 Quilt Top customized from Tobias Custom Shop in Amber peghead, gold hardware, made in 1997 in the USA.

Together with my Ken Smith Burner from 1990, my 2 latest acquisitions.

Super happy!

The Tobias Growler was a real gem, that pickup and pre sounded excellent and they were very versatile. Excellent basses!!!

The single, quad-coil Bartolini pickup (MM52CBJD3) which is split into 2 virtual split-coil in line hum-cancelling pickups and the DNTBT-18 preamp are a sound and tone factory.

Many thanks!

I briefly tested the LT out at NAMM 2020 but can’t recall since I was all over the place that year lol

Interesting you’ve asked about the TW! I think I’ve owned one briefly and I actually enjoyed it. The push/pull function is very versatile. I believe it still deals with the same fate of every Spector for me is the further reach where the 2nd and 3rd fret on the E string live. It’s an uncomfortable feel, reminds me of a Steinberger L series.

Anyway, here it is!
