I luv those pointy crazy looking guitars & basses from the 80's & early 90's & always have. I own an ESP-AX series 6 string guitar & a Nikki Sixx signature Epiphone bass right now & have been looking at some B.C. Rich basses but the crazier looking & pointier the guitar the more I like it it seems..lol
That's a sweet bass & a sweet stand, is the stand custom made???had this one for years... last winter I sold it back to the original owner (who happened to be a friend of mine). He had hassled me for over 6 months to sell it back to him, and I finally broke down
i own a warwick vampyre and a darklord, but this one is my pointiest
Damn that's a pretty bad-ass bass there now......
I have it on good authority that I will be receiving some sort of pointy bass for Xmas, from my wife. I don't know what it is yet, so details will follow when I receive it.
it's a mutt, usa charvel body and a MIJ charvel neck currently still covered in tiger fur from a haloween gig.
.
TolerenceEJ, the neck was from a bass I bought covered in it.
When I was done using it I used the neck for the explorer and tossed the body in a box. The guy used spray adhesive, but the explorer is going in for a refin, and the headstock will match the body color so it didnt matter as I have another Charvel sticker for the painter to use.

I am with you, I love pointy headstocks too. The first one I ever saw was on a Washburn AV-15 guitar and it was admiration at first sight. 30 years later and I play a Fernandes explorer bass, and Ibanez Destroyer bass and a Gibbo Flying V at pub rock gigs. And I do so because I like to sling my basses low and they sit better down there.
The one pointy bass I couldn't play was the Warlock. The pointy front horns on that bass regularly dug into my legs, my hip and they always felt like they were in my way. I ended up cutting both horns off to improve the playability. Best think I ever did.
I always wanted a Jackson DeathAngel
.
that black one 8lighter is holding is a USA, Here's a Korean ironbird with the shorter tail.
.
then there are the starbasses that peak my interest
.
and these washburns.
