Default Bought a bass~
I just got home from the pawn shop where I picked up a mystery bass. Mystery because it has no lables, marking, brands, or anything on it. The guy at the store said it's most likely a custom bass someone made, 'cause it looks like it has a Fender neck but the body is just... not right for a Fender. It's... hard to say how it's different, it just is. Anywho, here's some photos:





It plays like it's ready to funk out, and I'm incredibly happy with the purchase. It's a misfit bass for a misfit bass player

Cool

Yeah, definitely looks custom. If you're happy with it though, rock on

I'm very happy with it, I feel like Larry Graham a bit when playing it.

Also I love the quote in your sig, Dark. Whats it from?

The wood on it looks way too good to be a no-name knock off.
It definitely seems like you landed a nice custom job.
Does it sound like a P Bass?

The wood is what gave it away as a custom, its not that great.

And Bug, the quote is from a movie, Perfect Warrior. It's not great, but has some awesome quotes I like

Next time my band gets together I'll record a littly ditty so you hear it and judge. Plays like a higher-end Fender of some sort, sounded good at the store.

Great wood or not, it's feels good. (Good lord I feel dirty having typed that)

I might use a bastardized version of it in some song lyrics

Sweetness. If you like it , that's what counts. You can sometimes find gems in Pawn Shops. It does look like a unique bass guitar, that's for sure.

I would have to agree that it resembles a fender p-bass, but both the body and headstock look modified, sooooo...who knows

congrats on the purchase
