Does the Shape of This Bass Look Familiar?

For the long time members, I saw this on reverb and couldn't help thinking of Hal's "Tomahawk".

Bill, tgo

Don't jiggle the lid on Pandora's Box . . . . . .

Wow, Bill - that brought back some memories! Memories I might have preferred to leave behind, but still got a laugh out of it!

Can't forget the funk! (though I've tried).

hehehehe

Bill, tgo

Tailpiece looks centered (as long as we are jiggling)

Was the Tomahawk concept ever seen to fruition?
If I recall the knob landscape was very crowded.

Before my time, but I have read the threads...

I read the threads during the time and it was probably one of the hot topics of the time.
For those that want to know.

We are connected on facebook but I haven't seen any action on his page for years nor have we had any correspondence for a long while.

I do wish him well.

Bill,

I hope you remember what happened in Beetlejuice, when they said his name three times!

Regards,
Pete

I know I'm tempting fate with this but its like watching a train wreck, I CAN'T HELP MYSELF! Who knows maybe it is an improvement over the typical P Bass controls, maybe. I just wonder how long before it is hacked during the middle of a live show.

Whew! I thought I was about to see the Tomahawk at NAMM! Scary thought! Of course I really shouldn't be surprised since back then we were regularly "treated" to such photo-shopped delights as Tomahawk being played by Darth Vader, the Mona Lisa, Jiminy Cricket, etc.

And I've only written his name once.

Bill, tgo

I've already donned my garlic necklace . . . . . .

Let's try an alt take on this...

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!

Shoot, that didn't work.
