Actual Shadow Photo

I found this digging through a box of old photos. I took this self shadow photo in my dorm room at Purdue University in the Fall of 1986. I bought the bass new over the Summer. Once I brought it to the dorm, everyone wanted to play it (or at least touch it.)

It is still my main bass.

Cool photo! Was the bass actually a shadow too?

Purdue, huh? I vaguely remember that place!

With all the expert knowledge of some forum members, I would not be surprised if someone could identify the model and year from the headstock shadow but the color??? That would be impressive!

This is a silhouette instead of a shadow but, go for it, what models are these? :mrgreen:
