Your prettiest bass

[Michael Jewels]

I should have bought the guitar version of this when I had the chance.

I'm not that good on guitar, but I feel the same as you, Jeff.

The folly of youth.

Beautiful,clean MC you have there Mic
I had the chance to buy an MC 500 (sixer) off a friend many years ago for AU$500. It even had the "tree of life" on the headstock and the complete length of the neck. It was a dream to play and sounded gorgeous. I didnt have the money at the time and missed out on an absolutely beautiful instrument (that is VERY collectable now too)
If i could take one trip in a time machine, id be off to buy that guitar
Have fun on your beautiful MC

Kind of a Dick Dale Precision Bass. Marty Bell large metal flake gold finish. (Found this unloaded body here on TalkBass. Hard to believe but about a $750 bass guitar build.)

It's a tough choice but I think I'm going for my custom built De Gier Soulmate. Candy Apple Red, dots & binding, lollipop tuners... Love it.

I like the retro inspired hs - cool bridge too. A very nice bass but prettier than your '66 J?

My Warmoth build

Having built a walnut jazz from Warmoth stuff, I just know this one needs a wide strap.

Cousins! One of my Marty Bell's is gold too. Yours is a beauty.

 

[MasterMonkeyMan]

I have to agree with you, Super4.

That is strikingly beautiful.

Nice! G&L's revisiting it's original template (CLF Research) is great. Probably the most authentic RI's this side of the 1st Fender Tele Bass. Great colour too!

I had that exact same Sterling back in the day, only minus the thumbrest (if that's what it is). I traded it for a Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn, which then morphed into a Skyline (forget the name, vintagey looking thing), which then morphed into a Reverend ThunderGun.

Wonder if your Sterling is that same Sterling I had...

It's played mounted on an NS EUB stand.

It's a zero mod thumbrest that I made from curly maple. The gent I acquired it from said it was his father's, who was the original owner. Still have the original sale tag in the case
