You're an artist!!!

Nope, my wife is!

Here's some I've owned ....

[fealach]

I think The Hulk may have used it on tour for 20 years or so.  The strings have worn channels in the bridge pickup, frets, and fretboard.  The detailed pics are mine;  if I had seen them in the ad I wouldn't have bought it, thinking there's no way it would even function.  Amazingly it does, sounds great and still takes a low action.  I've since turned the bridge pickup around, taken the rear strap button off (amateur install, drilled through the thin hollow graphite, looked like a disaster waiting to happen) and come up with a homemade replacement for the missing (of course) original pivot plate.  Plan on relocating the output jack back to the stock location and putting the tone control back in eventually. 

People seem to actually like the worn paint, but I'd like to get the scratched-in "RAMPAGE" off of it.  Seller swore it was stock white, I didn't know much about Steinbergers so it wasn't until recently I looked it up in the SN list online and saw it wasn't.

That does look like a battle warrior - nice!

My '75 Mustang/'78 Musicmaster hybrid bass:

You fought in the Six-Day-War with it? 

[Barklessdog]

This is for Uwe- I ordered it new back in 78.





Has yellowed to a wondereful grainless color - Dave would be proud!

[GonzoBass]

I miss the bougainvillea pics, Mark.


I've posted these (and some other detailed shots) HERE
but I'll repost these in the name of "Mojo".

My beloved XP2-

My bandmates call it the Katrina bass.

Me too, my mortgage at that house was half what it is here in Sydney.

Got my mojo workin'

[Hornisse]

I love that Les Paul Bass!  I passed on one for really cheap about 20 years ago because it was so heavy.  I like the "Made In West Germany" tuners too.

[uwe]

Of course. Why settle for anything less? Made rom the finest Dutch bicycle scrap etal. We had a surplus stock once.

[Basvarken]

I actually hate them.
I prefer large string post tuners over those flimsy small ones.
Stringing (and precise tuning) those shorties is way easier with large post machine heads.

It's the smartest modification the previous owner did on my "prototype" Les Paul Bass...

[uwe]

That thing is so cool! I know a good place for it too ...
