How about a hot-rodded Silvertone?

Warning-pic is a clicky link to a really big image. 56K dialup's be warned!

Guild Humbucking pickups, Badass Bridge. Shaller tuners, Phase reversal switch and a funky stain/lacquer finish.

OK, I know it was sacrilege, you can blame it on my brother!

It plays like you wouldn't believe. Gotta love those oldies!

BTW, doing that link/url/image thing is a bear!

Oooohh. That looks like it has some character!
Mine's just a bone stock Warwick Corvette Standard, which is really a nice bass. Most of the time I feel like the gorilla in the old Samsonite commercials with the way I "play".

Gorgeous!
I have an ancient 'Framus' bass the same shape. Unfortunately it needs a complete restoration. Would love to get it fixed up.

Don't feel bad...I have one of those Gibsons that's nominally a Les Paul but looks like an SG and I, like a schmuck, stripped the Pelham Blue paint off in favor of a natural finish.

Hey! It was the Seventies! Everybody wanted natural finishes like Loggins and Messina and Seals and Croft and Crosby and Nash and Stills and Young!

Best
