NUMBER ME UP PLEASE!!!!!!1!!!


but for true...can I get a number

 

[pallino]

IMHO could a white Yamaha BB something, like a 1000 or so

 

[Thankful birds]

It's a Yamaha RBX 550. I owned one about 15 years ago in the exact same color (which is actually a metallic cream). I couldn't find a pic of the 550, but here's the 500 in cream-
Invalid Link Removed. Add a J and you've got the 550. It was a helluva nice bass. Like an idiot I traded it in on an SR400. Oh well, early 90's mistake.

Why would you PM John? Wouldn't it make more seance to ask Paul? I mean he dose own TB.

Someone ask Paul, I'd like some more seance around here. I don't talk to nearly 'nuff dead people. (I'll leave "dose" to someone else).

I'm not convinced. That has bevels on the cutaways - the TB bass doesn't.

I'm starting the "What is the Talkbass Bass Club." Who wants numbers?






Note: I'm not really starting a club about this, just trying to interject a bit of humor into this thread due to an almost pathological need for attention. Now that we've got that out of the way, I'm What is the Talkbass Bass Club #1.

either way,im going to go ahead and number myself. talkbass bass club #3.

I don't see it either. Compare where the upper horn connects with the body... It's at the 15th fret, not the 17th, for one, and also, it's not beveled like the Yamaha.

 

[WarriorJoe7]

Who's the guy playing it? Maybe its Sting or Duff? Or Paul?

 

[BoopersOwner]

Fender Precision Bass Lyte anyone?

 

[unclekebm]

the headstock almost looks like a Peavey...

I think it's just a drawing, jazz PU's, Two knobs, P body, skinny neck...

 

[DanielleMuscato]

No headstock visible... We're talking about the photo on the top RIGHT, not the drawing at the top left

This guy:

 

[wvbass]

Fender Prodigy.

 

[john turner]

i messaged john turner,so hopefully he lets me know soon.

heh. i was thinking pbass special too, although the upper horn looks a bit long.

i'm intrigued now. i'll ask paul, see if he knows, or has the original pic that was used. might be a stock photo.

 

[john turner]

I support this!

i was thinking that too, although don't they have the small metal gaskets around the pickups?

 

[Kael]

I've never given it that much thought but I always assumed that it was some sort of Yamaha. At least that's what I think when I do a quick glance at it.

 

[GerManson]

Fender Prodigy.

best guess at the moment

 

[DanielleMuscato]

Fender Prodigy's also looking good to me.

FWIW I'm pretty sure it's just a stock photo... but that doesn't have much to do with its being unidentifiable or not

 

[Thorsoundcore]

Fender Prodigy.

definatly the closest thing ive seen so far.but still its hard to tell.

 

[ianm76]

I've always thought it was an 80's Jazz Bass Special (the color and fretboard definitely match Duff's old basses), but the upper horn on the Fender Prodigy has me wondering...

Not to derail, but can someone give a brief history on the Prodigy's? I've never seen one of those before..
