I remember looking at pictures of these in Guitar Player when I was a kid! Personally I 99% wouldn't buy an Explorer-shaped bass again - when I had my Alembic Exploiter I kept bumping into things around the house, dinging it up...

[Chris P.]

I like it!

Looks pretty good, no binding though a 3 piece neck is a nice touch...I'm sitting a foot away from my '84. I can hear it asking, "when do I get a restoration?"

[godofthunder]

 I was hoping it would be the earlier version like mine I bought new in '76

Probably trying to avoid any hint of a lawsuit.  Plus better P.R. to reissue one of your 'own' designs, derivative as it is.

I am sure ! Many of these were cut up on the docks back in the late 70's.

That's a shame, great bass!

It's also saying "I want to be refinished in black. I know how much you like to do gloss black finishes."

I think the origina fin was trans black with solid black body.  Mine would need new binding and a lot of work to get near this one

[Highlander]

Nothing beyond your scope and nothing less than she deserves...

(either that or a nice, understated Tequilafin... )

[dadagoboi]

I'll take it under advisement, Ken.  Lots of other stuff in front of it.

[PhilT]

Generally I don't care for the shape, but the black with binding works.

[patman]

It works for me!

I share your sentiment.

For me, those Destroyers always bring back memories of...



(well.. the guitar, anyway)

Always wanted an explorer of some sort, but hard to justify now
