Overend and his notorious swallow bass ...



Peter Knorn's carved and sculpted Explorer something (no Gibson content):

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I've posted this somewhere before. Johnny Paycheck with his Teisco bass, about 50 years ago when he was still George Jones' bassist.

Cheers... missed that particular one... the Lightning Bolt is a known one and presently lies in the vaults at Hard Rock... the TRC is an opposite of mine, being WBW whereas mine is BWB sandwich...
