Reader Basses!

I’ve got a few hollowbody bass images sitting in my inbox that may be of interest. They’re all basses owned by readers of the blog.

Often I’ll get emails asking for advice or information, and sometimes I’ll get emails asking to identify a particular model. And I also get “hey check out my cool bass” emails, which are always fun. Here are a few recent images:

1974 Rickenbacker 4005WB, with a vol/tone/switch config that he reader claims is original. (All other 4005’s have dual volume & tone controls.)

Johnny sends us this lovely collection of Japanese beauties, complete with a Sekova hollowbody bass:

Next up, Dan (owner of the Thundertron modded Dean Stylist) shows off his Lakland Hollowbody with custom pickguard:

Lastly, Mark Zandveld sent me a link to his site where he proudly displays his custom “Fretted Horizontal” Takamine B10:

That’s it for now. Once my inbox gets a little fuller we’ll have another round. If you’ve got a unique hollowbody bass that you’d like to see on the site, shoot me an email at brandon [a] hollowbodybass.com.

Here is the link to my collection. I haven’t seperated the hollow bodies from the solid bodies.
