Happy Jack Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Incidentally, the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that my bass has a mis-matched body and neck ... the scratchplate is sparkly red and the headstock is sparkly orange.

Happy Jack Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 It's just such an outrageous thing to look at. The blank, white wall above my TV is a rotating art installation. Up until now the rotation has been: Now they have a new friend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be my office bass. Yup, me too. I sold it because it looked cool but sounded crap. Then I bought this black one and I sourced a Dark Star pickup. Now it looks cool and sounds absolutely righteous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Indeed a Dark Star pickup is mandatory. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see why you'd want to buy it and stick it on the wall - I used to collect tin toy Japanese robots from the 50s - 70s, so can sympathise totally...
