Heinz

[strummer]

Yes, here's Heinz again, I spent some time with a nice camera at the office so this is a fairly accurate color matching pic...

Before the naysayers leap in, I have to say that Heinz is still one of the sexiest basses on the planet.

I'd know that wood grain anywhere!

I should take a picture of Heinz's case that currently resides in my attic. I am not sure who wrote "HEINZ" in silver paintpen on it.

I think it might have been Stanky when he owned him for a week, or however long it was...

Do it, Jason, I want to see it

I'm playing Heinz more and more, and the coated strings are really starting to pay off, I'm happy to say

'Twas I. My cases are all in a closet so I label them for easy recall.

I don't know if the wood grain can save its gruesomeness.

I quite like the grain on it. Could a black pickguard and pickup cover do it any good? Maybe even a black pearloid or tort?

I'm thinking...no. If there was a color contrast that could help Heinz look better, they would start making diapers in that color...

Do you close your eyes when you play it?

 

[bovinehost]

Bastards!

*shaking fist*

Please bear in mind all my comments here are good hearted teasing, I'd love to have a bass with such a history as Heinz, it's like the Red Violin of MMs. Except it's not red but... you get my point

(if you don't know what I'm talking about PLEASE go see the movie Red Violin)

Heinz is a style all his own, and you minions cannot comprehend the scope of his magnificentness

I bet it looks a lot better under stage lighting.

Especially during those dramatic moments when everything goes dark.


Seriously, I like Heinz. It takes a person with great self-assuredness to play it in public.
