Freddy Tavares - designer of the Fender Stratocaster playing an early '50s P-bass utilizing the hs location "hootenanny" strap peg.
indeed....inspired by the very dude...too bad he didn't sign up for the farewell tour..

At first glance, the bassist looks like DukeoRock.
Don't take it off the list!
Heck with the bike, is that Norman Bates mother standing by the column???
So there's not going be a cedar Thunderbird in the future?
So much to like in that pic!
Dang, looks like Jaco...also responsible for the Bassman..

Depends on how many boards I have left over!So there's not going be a cedar Thunderbird in the future?
Well, it's not a vintage thunderbird, but it is vintage, and kinda interesting...

that's what I thought (and said a few pages back)
I assume that she stole Pee Wee's bike and Chucky is just an accessory after the fact.
I think he is more known for on ice skills than amp design...Tavares designed the Bassman amp?

Also going for $725 at this link... I saw this poster brand new in the '70s at a car dealer in KC/MO. (for "attraction" value I guess...) Farrah was an 'it' girl then because of Charlies Angels, but I wasn't into the poofy-hair 'look' and honestly didn't want it to... idolize. I was a young art student and instead thought it would be funny to put it on the inside of my bathroom door. It was the size of a door and I though when someone walked in and shut the door - it would startle them - especially with those big white choppers. So I walked in and asked the showroom dude if I could have it when they eventually took it down... "you and a bunch of other guys" was his dismissive reply. I intently felt stupid for not realizing it would come-off like that.

They did make a whole movie about it... it was called Chucky's Mothers Psychotic Adventure.

Keeping an eye on that game, while trying to figure out why my laptop won't let the sound through the music streaming software.
This one's about the right color:
I like it! There was an upright bass neck, and bridge for sale cheap here last week. I asked for measurements, but buddy didn’t reply. Would Coulda Shoulda
If he doesn’t reply is he really a
buddy ?
