New toy for the family
My dad picked this up at the local swap meet, and passed it on to me...
He paid a whole $75.00 for it. For those of you who are thinking "Boy, that's a long bass guitar", you're right. It's an electric upright bass. On the back is a socket for using a drum stand with it.
The future step-daughter plays upright bass. She'll be thrilled when she sees it.

Guess it doesn't go "twang" 
That sounds totaly cool. Hope she loves it.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Very nice. It reminds me of the Ibanez Destroyer I used to play. (It was the Ibanez version of the Gibson Explorer... anywho.....looks like a great buy!!

glad you said it was an upright...
I was thinking "who put a Fender Jazz neck on a Gibson Thunderbird body?"

Whoa. Better not let the Marine!Goth see that one, he's got ENOUGH! I think the count is three now, or maybe four. Classic/old school jazz String Bass, Fender electric bass, mid price acoustic bass (slightly battered from a trip to the sandbox),.... I think he collects the things.
He couldn't play something small! LOL
Congrats on the score! I'm sure your daughter will love it!

It was made by the guy who sold it to my dad.

Actually I think this is an upright electric bass.
There also exist electric double-basses, with a regular bridge, tailpiece, and neck; but a tiny body. Often the pick-up is built into the bridge; I think I've seen one with two different pick-ups.
