Title: Does the Shape of This Bass Look Familiar?
Post by: lbpesq on May 03, 2020, 06:12:59 PM

For the long time members, I saw this on reverb and couldn’t help thinking of Hal’s “Tomahawk”.

Bill, tgo

Wow, Bill - that brought back some memories! Memories I might have preferred to leave behind, but still got a laugh out of it!

Tailpiece looks centered (as long as we are jiggling)  :o

Was the Tomahawk concept ever seen to fruition?
If I recall the knob landscape was very crowded.

I read the threads during the time and it was probably one of the hot topics of the time.
For those that want to know.

Bill,

I hope you remember what happened in Beetlejuice, when they said his name three times!

I know I'm tempting fate with this but its like watching a train wreck, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF! Who knows maybe it is an improvement over the typical P Bass controls, maybe. I just wonder how long before it is hacked during the middle of a live show.  8)

Whew!   I thought I was about to see the Tomahawk at NAMM!  Scary thought!  Of course I really shouldn't be surprised since back then we were regularly "treated" to such photo-shopped delights as Tomahawk being played by Darth Vader, the Mona Lisa, Jiminy Cricket, etc.

And I've only written his name once.

Bill, tgo
