F*nd*r P knockoff. No pictures. Got bored with it one day, stripped the frets out and epoxied the neck ala Jaco. Spent weeks sanding the burrs out of the epoxy. Found I still sucked at bass. Gave it to a friend.
 
Ibanez Roadster - 4 strings and Funky design :D
No picks at the moment, might fix that shortly ;)

Still have it, but it doesn't get much (any) playingtime theese days - SR5 gets most of it ;)

hes a good backup now. definately no EBMM but he earns his keep
 
My first bass was a MIM Jazz. Cool color for a MIM. I later modded it with US pups and a MIA 62 reissue neck as shown in pics. After the mods it was a good sounding bass, but couldnt touch my SR5.

I have a squier p-bass. stripped the paint, repainted it, threw in a bass lines quarter pounder, ripped out the tone circuit, gave it some schaller strap locks, and threw some slinkies at it.

a lefty like that identical colour just sold on ebay for like 150 us lol...i thought about it.. but i like the block inlays on the fret boards for a jazz
 
My first bass was a white 1981 Fender Bullet Bass that I bought brand new.

I had never played bass and my dad asked me to come with him to try to play with the Irving Police Assn. band. As a teenager I had played drums with them back in the late sixties. One of the guys there had a Gibson bass of some kind and no real bass amp that I picked around on that first day. The next week, I went to a local music store and bought the Bullet bass and a Yamaha 60 watt combo that had a 15" speaker in it.

I know I sold that bass, but I don't remember who I sold it to or when I sold it. I don't really miss it. I know I wouldn't play it and I'm not much of a collector of things.
