These are along the lines of my favorite classic shapes, and the 2+2 headstock. Alembic's Stanley Clarke model is in there also. The whole SG reference is my original bass soul-mate...Or perhaps one like this...
or the real thing...
The T-Bird was unexpected, like waking up knowing something new about yourself...

Technically my second bass, but i've had it since i was 9-10 years old. Traded my squier affinity pbass for this Ibanez GaxB short scale bass (currently at my friends place cause i'm lacking storage with all my projects) & also going under repair for electronics 
The only bass i've kept stock (minus needing a new 3 way switch - which acts as a tone control) Also doesn't have the treble side skull sticker at the neck anymore.
My thunderbird goth is my 4th bass owned in life, but 3rd that stayed in the household amongst the others. only 16 more days til it's played again!

There's just something about Scooby Doo bed sheets and Anarchy/Skull stickers that has me confused.Technically my second bass, but i've had it since i was 9-10 years old.

Old bunk bed that i've had up until 2 years ago. top bunk was great for storage
I'm also only 21 so still partying like a kid
That's a relief! For a minute there I thought you might be old man Jinkens wearing a monster mask and complaining about meddling kids!Old bunk bed that i've had up until 2 years ago. top bunk was great for storage
I watch them 60's scooby doo stuff, i grew up watching old cartoons!
Haha the rest of us did to! Lol
I finally found time to clean out the pickup routes & install the Chinabuckers. Sounds great; looks even better. I just need to pull them back out and stuff even more weatherstripping under them.

It's a new factory bird. I only painted the pickguard and truss rod cover with flat black that had primer in it to get rid of the reflective shiny parts. I did 4 coats. The flat black looks almost gray next to the "pitch black" factory paint which is also a matte (flat) black but a lot blacker. I wouldn't have done anything if it came with the same paint as the pick up covers have for the pickguard and truss rod cover.
Sure. Do I get any coupons or anything?
How come everyone's drapes are cooler than mine?
Swift kicks and repeated abuse
And so it begins!
