What do you do when you have your grail bass?

[WillyW]

Buy a backup of course....


I am so fortunate to have not one, but two of my grail basses.

the bottom one is the first, a 1980 fretless eagle.

she is joined today by her 1985 younger sister, rumored to have been the personal property of Don Lace.

This is a stolen picture of her at the 1986 namm show...

LOL That was my first thought when I read the title of the thread. Congrats!

 

[saltydude]

Post on TB I guess. IDK. Try something else?

 

[MAJOR METAL]

Congrats, rock it hard!

 

[Reedt2000]

That white bass is REALLY cool

I've never seen an eagle with that reverse headstock, nice find

(Oh, and the answer to the thread title is play the living $#!+ out of it )

 

[Killing Floor]

100% Awesome. Turn it up!

 

[Gorn]

Make sure you don't take it out of the cave?

I have (one of) mine, and I play it as often as I can.

[5StringBlues]

Buy an upright.

Hang out on TalkBass until something else eventually catches your eye

 

[Bassdirty]

Nice.

I love that 80's pic.
Reminds me of the Ironbird 6 string guitar I had back then... and the many many warlock basses Ive had..
Ahh.. I miss the 80's.

It really was a great time..(and definitely was cool, at the time).

 

[dtsamples]

You say “BEHOLD! My stuff.”

 

[JRA]

looks like you have two killer axes, OP, and that your recent acquisition is more than worthy! congratulations on your new instrument!

 

[Blackjac97]

Those straps are awesome, what are they?

 

[JimmyThunder]

wow those both look AWESOME
love a fretless BCR

Play it for all it’s worth.

And don’t let yourself get so attached to it that you’ll feel like “My Precious” has been taken away from you if something ever happens to it.
