... though I think he could use a nice wide strap:

I'm not familiar with this guy or his music, but this photo was in my local paper a few days ago and I really got a kick out of it. I borrowed it from the front page of his web site.

I..am speechless.

I listened to a sample song, and his band isn't bad..not really my kind of music, but they're good.

Bob, quit pulling our leg: It's a cool enough looking axe, but at least you could run a pic of yourself with your ALEMBIC!

Careful Joey - there are at least photos of my bass here, unlike some people we know... And even one of me (though cleverly disguised as a sailor or something), when my bass was nothing more than a defective neck.

I can't quite tell - is he slapping that thing, or just holding it up by the strings?

The fiddle cut on the bottom is resting on his thigh sorta . . . or at least I damn sure hope so.

I know, I know, I'm scouting digital cameras as we speak, so you just never know. Though I'm gonna have the devil of a time finding a purple suit.

Here's another one, Peter Steele from Type O Negative
Note: Peter is not a lefty

(Looks like a Body dive)

This guy is a Die hard, He uses a solid steel Chain as a strap
I've seen him play a Spoiler somewhere in the mid 90's)

That's Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, the group that made Brian Setzer famous. I would imagine you remember hearing:

We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town, make 'm scream and shout

Nice looking bass!
