Wow, that's a sharp looking bass. What is it?

PJ, the brand is KILLER; the model is KB-SIMMONY. They're made in Japan. I've seen them a few times on Japanese guitar sites. Ishibashimusic had this one up for sale on Ebay:

who notices those things anyway. It's the funny looking bathing suit shorts your wearing that would make someone laugh.

but, those were the days

It's because whenever I show pictures from the 80's that's what I get - nice socks, dude.
Or shorts...

OK, seeing as how we're embarrassing ourselves with old photos, here's the only righty bass I owned, that I had flipped by the local guitar tech back when I lived in Redding, Ca. I had a '74 P-Bass too, but my Dad gave this to me along with a MusicMan 4-channel head, so I could start my "music career"!

A Japanese Les Paul copy from the '70's.... wouldn't mind still having it!

I can go ya one better, here's me with the real deal Les Paul Triumph, in '80. Wish I still had it.

oh now this is becoming a hot topic eh?
I wish I still had the hundreds of pics from the 80's but thanks to a fire in the house next door so many years ago, and smoke and water damage I had to throw it all away - 20 years of "old" pictures gone before the internet and photobucket.

here's me playing my Dean flying-v flipped at a gig in 2009:

and one of me desperately trying to play a friend Pete's Ric flipped circa 1985 so I wouldn't have to use my POS SG copy.

Cool, we're in almost the same stance, and almost on the same fret!

Some photo's of my Ibanez eb3 copy from the seventies and now. Currently the bass has been defretted and fitted with flats.

my other photo didn't come upso here it is. 1970 ibanez righty.

Soon after I switched from guitar to bass, I walked into a pawn shop that had a lefty Hondo 830, and I convinced the owner to trade me straight up for mt righty Hondo 830, that I played upside-down. That was right after my first gig, so the only pic I have of me and a flipped bass is this one my band took to promote that first gig.
