Yikes!

Hey! She's starting to grow on me.

There is a strange primordial Pavlov response to that shape.

Man, I gotta start getting out more.

I know the feeling, and I'm right there with you...I HAVE to get out more too...

Hmmm, and most of complained about the RIC bridge! LOOK at THIS ONE! Simple elegance in design Image
Why waste time intonating ONE string at a time?

Wadda ya mean Jeff?! Can't you see it's vintage?!

Enough room for an additional string?

Naw, it would ruin it's collectible value.

Um...er......aaah......they told me it was a "Lemmy".

Came with a certificate, # 61. Only $15,000, case was extra, plus shipping.

Offers, death threats, trades, medications?

I like the innovative middle-of-the-strings thumb rest on the vintage sand cast style bridge.

Hey maybe JPS needs that bridge to make it easier to adjust the intonation on his fretless!

I remember seeing that bass - or an identical one - a couple years back. Also, I remember commenting on it - "Looks like a kid's bass project. You're gonna go places, kid!". I believe it is a Kay. Anyone?

Jeff...Just think how much easier it would be to make this bass into a model Piece of Sh**4/5!
