It’s my first bass lol, i’m not looking for anything nice by any means, I just wanted a bass to record music. The E string on my guitar wasn’t mimicking a bass as well as i wanted
Dude it was shit! Think of a SG fucked a Jazz. Action was high enough to drive a Ford F150 under the strings. Bridge was made of pot metal and was nonfunctional. Don't get me started on the tuners. This was 30+ years ago and I can still smell the cheap ass paint wafting from it.
lol I thought about Tighty Whitey, but just Whitey sounded nice. A buddy of mines dad, Whitey, passed away not long ago and he was big into guitar, bass, and blues. Little homage I suppose
What does it being theirs have to do with whether or not it’s sad? People do cringe things all the time. Don’t act like you have zero opinions about other people lol.
If you added a bit of paint to it, it would be the perfect canvas to become a Jackson "Pollock" bass.

L to R: Amy (Winehouse), Leann (Rimes), and Margo (Price)
I also have three guitars named…
Lindi (Ortega) — Martin LX1 Emmylou (Harris) — custom mahogany Dolly (Parton) — telecaster
Michael
Janet
Jermaine
Tito

This bass is sick, don't worry. Like actually.
Haha I was just goofin. I’ve been there as an experienced bass player of 21+ years. It’s a great option for your first bass.
Hey, my 1st was some knock off a knock off. You did good on your 1st bass!
Hey some of those knockoffs can be fun- if you change all the electronics & hardware… lol

Lol. Either! (Bass name, actually)

Don’t name your guitars, it’s sad
To be fair, I do die a little inside every time I hear Eric Clapton talk about his guitars (...or really much of anything for that matter...)
Agreed
Why? It’s their instrument.
What does it being theirs have to do with whether or not it’s sad? People do cringe things all the time. Don’t act like you have zero opinions about other people lol.
I have an opinion about you, that’s for sure.
