SG guitars are alright, but SG/EB basses are the SHIT. Mike Watt has some super sweet ones.

hahaha awesome. I was really happy how this green turned out. The black grainfiller certainly helps bring out the vibe. I almost went for a burst, but glad I didn't for this one, even if I'm a big burstfag from way back.

i've always had this insane crush on Mike Watts and his SG. and i don't even fucking like SG's. but i've wanted a Dingwall done to emulate the color scheme of this version of it............

forfuckingEVER.
all matte'ish red with some grain bleed through and a blue circle right there.
so. damn. pretty.
.......... probably wouldn't rip out a pup though. fuck i need to start gigging again so i can get some legitimate beat ups on my bass.
Mike Watt is the shit! He is my hero
His basses totally inspired my 8 string I made...

Pretty sweet, Mudfuzz.
(Mike Watt is the only bassist I've seen break multiple strings in a set.)

I could care less about most "bass heroes"...but Watt is the exception, he's the real deal. His "little bass" and that pelham non-reverse T-bird II are two of my favorite basses ever. Totally badass, and Exhibit A for the dipshits who think all Gibson basses suck. Finally got to see him play last year, got my pic with him and everything. Good dude.
Love the design and pickup setup on your bass, Mudfuzz. I'd love to have a 4-string one with a Tele headstock....

Anyone here want to make a trade offer for my bass? People on TB are fucking dicks. I keep getting low balled to death. Like I said before, I don't need to get a new bass, but I'm bored and want to try something else.
PS, I want to fuck that Dingwall.

I'd murder for an old EB-3.
Didn't Mike Watt's old EB-3 get jacked? Did he ever get it back?

Yes, but you've been lowballed enough. My basses are an Epi T-Bird and a Fender MP Jazz and you want a nice bass, not a budget bass with pedals/cash. Besides shipping either bass would be more expensive than buying you a new one stateside.

Yes, the "Sistas in the Pit" one, the original "little bass", got stolen by some dick. Don't think it's ever turned up.
