Title: Custom "V" Bass with Hot Tuna Theme
Post by: benson_murrensun on March 07, 2008, 12:19:33 PM

One-of-a-kind bass with Jorma's and Jack's signatures. Warmoth mahogany body, Warmoth figured maple neck with ebony board, good quality hardware, Carvin H-50 pickup, straplocks (placed so the guitar actually balances perfectly on the strap). There are a couple of MINOR cracks in the finish. The signatures are under clear plastic to protect them; seemed like a good idea at the time.
Gig bag included. Asking $950 plus shipping; interesting trades considered. benhighmountain@aol.com (http://mailto:benhighmountain@aol.com)

Put a couple of Dark Stars on there and you'd really have something!

Well, there IS something special about one pickup, one volume knob and one tone control.... but on the other hand, this bass might just look extra-cool with about 87 knobs and switches and a few sets of LEDs to boot for various applications, or for no applications whatsoever, for that matter.
Maybe a turbo-boost gauge... altimeter, etc.

Don't forget to get the big boots and the eyebrows to go with it!
 
Nice bass.

That stambaugh is nice...I can't help but think the 'A' string bridgepiece is mounted slightly off parallel...I'm sure it would only affect the sound minutely ...or maybe my OCD radar is off (it's late).
