[quote="Mark_The_Bass"]Thanks Cornbread.... good to know there are people out there who appreciate a true work of art!

Yes very correct,theres a whole bunch of us here and no-one doubted you its a thing thats said when ANYONE buys,gets,steals(no not steals)trades,inhierts or begs a new Fender bass it could be new,newer,old,older,built by self,B.S.futuristic ETC...,You get the pic,it was'nt anything personal or saying your a liar(though everyone's intentions arent true). PICS are always asked for,even a new Squier Bronco bass will be called out for pics.

Thats a great bass,whats up with the angled bridge ? is that a re-pair or mod ? I'm sure it being a proto-type there's hits and misses in the hardware dept,how long you've had it?NOW ONE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD: HOWS IT SOUND :?:
Thanks mark-bass,goodluck w/it
BTW: I will be more than happy to hold onto it for safe keeping if you should ever need to hide it from the paparazzi,No trouble at all,matter of fact: I INSIST :idea:

It kind of looks angled but that may be the lens of the camera. Interesting.

The sound is awesome!...youve prob' seen the youtube thing where Victors Bailey & Wooten are trying out the newly found Jaco "Bass of Doom"..... well thats exactly the vibe I get from mine, except its not fretless....its real "bongy" ...it spits noes out with great depth but with amazing clarity.
The bridge angle in the photo must be an optical illusion...its fine!...but thanks for asking!

Mark_The_Bass: do you still live in that area? I'm moving to Wilkesbarre in the fall. Sad to hear that a bass store used to be there and is no more

Basses that play or sound less than ideally never get to look like that no matter how old they are. That bass must play very nicely! You can tell by the wear. It has been played tens of thousands of hours.

I'll find the recipe as I'm off from my day gig this week. The corn bread is good alone and makes a good side to Jerk Chicken.
