My Warmoth JM, custom BA Ferguson bass, Squire VM Jag bass, a janky Peavey starter pack Jazz bass.

Edit: Wait, are Duo-Sonics offset? If so, then I have 5.


The only two that matter.

does that teisco still have the tiny square frets?

It would almost have to be set up for slide.

Also: Looks like it has the pickup with the square pole pieces, you ever put little motors or noisemakers near it?

Yeah the frets are...

No the pickup has the round slothead one. noise makers... I have used remote controls [tv dvd plays...] to get beeping noises with it yes :lol:

Main reason for it being a slide guitar though is the sound of the thing with slide! it howls.

I wants a CP Jazzmaster, and one oh dem Black Jaguar Baritone Specials, then my collection would be complete :drool:

It's a shame it really doesn't get played much anymore. It's too boomy for my taste nowadays. :/

It's a warmoth parts build, Swamp Ash Body,Fat ass Maple neck, Ebony Fretboard. Two GFS lipstick pickups, ~6k in the neck, and ~4.9k in the bridge wired up like a normal mustang. Butterscotch blonde paint from reranch.com, it's a matte finish, and the grain was left sort of open, so you can sort of see the grain through the paint, and the texture of the grain is still present. I drew the headstock logo on with a grease pencil, and then put the clear coat down. Same on the pick guard, grease pencil and then artists workable fixative on top.

I love it, I really do. :joy:
