99ster Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 "Darren Thompson contracted so violently when he was electrocuted at San Cornelius prison, in 1967, that the arms of the chair broke. The pieces were used by William Muldover to repair an old bass electric guitar he played in the prison church ensemble "The Caged Angels" . . . Might explain the odd, but pleasant, tone."

lettsguitars Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 what did he use for the headstock? The burnt out skull? How weird and morbid! Quote
Ou7shined Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Like it. Shame about the 2 saddle bridge. Quote
Vinny Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 What a fantastic-looking thing. WANT!!! I can see an old teardrop-needle moving coil gauge in it for no other reason than it would just fit the look of it. Lovely. (Must not go fetch toolbox, do not go fetch toolbox, you will only f*** up a perfectly good bass, do not go fetch toolbox........) Quote
Vinny Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Forgot to add that the stuff about the prisoner sounds like horsesh*t to me. Doesn't stop it from being a fabbo looking bass, though. Quote
