yeah, 1979 Kramer 45B bass.
And I bought it because of these three bands...
My Disco
Shellac
Ten Grand
Granted, My Disco and Shellac use Beans, and Ten Grand have a Kramer guitar, but goddamn I love the tone I get with mine.

Eventually, I plan on getting something similar. I will call it
the tellybean.
If it's not any trouble, would you be able to list some of the specs? Do you have any pictures?

it may also depend on where are placed the pickups... any advice about it?
Directly under the "strings" for best results.
This has made me laugh far too loudly for this hour of the morning. "Super."

the music i make with it is about as far removed from The Jesus Lizard as you could possibly get.
Please send me my prize...
actually, that is a lie, as i recently sold the Bean.
I now own a Telecaster and couldn't be happier...
tele's are a lot of the kickass. my favorite guitar, hands down. so simple, so perfect.
indeed! I'm taking mine to my guitar tech soon to get a P90 installed in the neck position - should make it sound even better.

speaking of teles, ive a got a 73 deluxe that i really love. the neck is so rad. best thing about it is i paid £675 for it. sounds incredible. thinking about getting a standard tele but i dont really like new guitars. i like old ones, and old teles are fucking rediculously priced. at a stretch i could do a 52 reissue. those dont look to gay. its got to be a dark natural wood.

maybe look into the fender custom shop ones. my friend has one and it is a great guitar. not cheap but not as crazy as an old one either.

well ill check one out. i just tend to prefer guitars that have been nicely worn in - not abused as such, just played. i like function to really, tele's are great examples of that. very pure and there to do a job, and i would have thought those custom shop ones start doing strange things like quilted tops and gold bits which i find can be offensive to the senses.
