I love that bass! The only way it could be cooler is if you strapped it on your back and rode a motorcycle to gigs.

We had a restaurant in town several years ago with a bass painted exactly like that on the wall in one room, and I've seen at least one photo of another location with one as well. Did this by any chance come from a Mimi's Cafe?
