I wanna new bass!!!

Wierd looking thing really.....Ah I see its a huge metal frame, who thought that up for a pickup frame? Never mind and oh how things have moved on. I take it it has a decent bottom end thump....

Never have to worry about a thumb rest.

 

[roballanson]

Bit worrying if there is an electro magnet near by.....

[Steve Dude Barr]

There's a handfull but cool for the $500 price range on ebay...honking necks on em...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Quite the bridge design as well...

 

[roballanson]

What is that sticking out the side, the black bit...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Sliding string mute built-in...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

I also believe these to be one if not the first electric bass to use graphite in the neck in the mid 1970's...

 

[roballanson]

Impressive......

Oh and I like the slider control version - looks like an old telly we used to have....

No, the sliders were really noisy...you want the stereo Magnum I without them...way better...
