[myles]

is it an american ?

[stranker]

nah. unfortunately
mexican

[stranker]

but after i'm done with making my fretless guitar i might defret this bass and convert it into a fretless
EDIT:although i was wondering how to take out an inlay
i wanna replace those white dots with some abalone

[stranker]

even though i'm a guitarist though, i gotta say. i've always been good at 4 stringed instruments

[lateralus423]

Thats sweet. I wish i could get a free bass.

[Thonk]

Sweet.

Same color as mine.

[stranker]

yeah, its a little yellowed from age though and plus the guy that had it before me like...burned it or something
there's a yellower outline to it on some areas

[pukeboy66]

looks like you need to clip your strings on that guitar man.

[the101er]

Tort pickguard please!

Lovely looking, put in a J-Retro and some Model J's... even though you aren't a bass player :p

I love how when people get their pic's knowingly taken, they always try making they're fretting hand look complicated, and do some freak stretch...or try anyways.

He's probably doing some guitar chord on it, seeing as he is a guitarist.
But yeah i think posed photos are awful.

[stranker]

nahh i hold stuff weird
like if you look at pictures of me holding birthday cards it looks like i have a serious problem with my fingers
i just got a good grip on the neck that way is all
and yeah, the strings do need to be changed
i'm going to change em after tonight
but this'll be good for me to make some lil riffs off of for my experimental band, ya know?
but since me and my drummer are basically family, we've donned this the "family bass"
i'm probably gonna customize it to my liking
straplocks
tortoiseshell pickguard WOULD be pretty nice...
and also i think i might defret it

[Free_the_bikes]

no sir, that is an attempt at a G sharp if i ever saw one...
