    Ah, the vernerable ol Rickenbacker 4001. I had always wanted to make my main workhorse (see what I did there?) of a bass a bit more unique. Now, I'm no artist, but I think this turned out pretty damn good! Practically the most metal bass I own, haha. It was originally a red sunburst finish. Now, it's 20% cooler



    Aaaaand here's a link to a small sound clip:

    D'awh! Well thank ya! I'm actually on the fence about Pinkie Pie-ing my Fender Jazz Bass next...

    I dunno. Crowd reaction to the Rainbowbacker has been awesome though, and I've gotten several compliments after shows. There's something delightfully awesome about chugging through a brutal, utterly demonic, breakdown on a rainbow pegasus themed bass.

    I'm already a sucker for anything bass-related. You made it even better.
