Totally amateur phone camera pics thread.

My surfer buddy, who also does art for a living, painted this surf scene on my Yamaha beater bass for me. I use to play this Yamaha bass for beach gigs where sand and salt residue would always seem to get on my bass. I think I only payed $100 for this bass used so it did not matter to much if it got beat up. That said, the bass is super light, well balanced between body and head-stock and very comfortable to play long gigs with. Also, I been thinking about restringing it with flats and start playing it again.

Plus...I’ve never played a Yamaha bass that I didn’t like.
I’d love to own a pawn shop/CL gem like your ‘beater’! :thumbsup:
