Whale "Pay for me"

One of those forgotten nineties gems, this one reminds of college and a good summer in 1994...

Interesting. Since Sweden is a small country I would say that it is quite possible that is macahans bird (the refinned red Bicentennial with a strat jack) considering the finish and matching headstock.

Whale had trouble gaining respect from the Swedish music press initially because leaders Henrik Schyffert was already an established comedian and Cia
Berg was a former TV hostess. I saw them live only once back then that featured the second later rhythm section they got (ex Ingo & Floyd).

how awesome is that!
It's probably more than likely that is the bird i've got since i also bought it from the same town they were from...

even more likely to be my bird since i found out that the guy who produced whale(christian falk) actually has owned this specific bass.
