Diskomo - The Residents

I hear ya got religion - The Residents

I have a few squirreled away. A few that I'd like to play more but live in their original cases due to lack of space are an original 80s Hohner B2A with picato stainless steel flats, my beautiful flamed maple Guild Starfire II, and my NS Design CR-5M from 2007, which despite having been gigged in a previous band for several years has managed to stay in mint condition with exactly zero dings.

The Evil Disposer - The Residents

Lizard lady - The Residents

I have the blackstar one. It works well for me.

Star spangled banner - The Residents

Lottie the human log - The Residents

The Old Soldier - The Residents

hungry hound - The Residents

My Second Wife - The Residents

Perhaps Ian Brown was supposed to have a band with him, but they're currently incapacitated with Covid as being unvaccinated was a requirement of being in the band

Whoopy Snorp - The Residents

The fake decals make it look cheap when the imprint of the real decal is still showing, and this should probably reduce the value. It is ridiculous to put 'Made in USA' on an indonesia built bass as that makes it look like the decals were applied to deceive a purchaser rather than to make it look more 'proper' at a gig.

Maybe they cost too much to make and they didn't sell enough?

God's Magic Finger - The Residents

I have one of these, it was my main bass for my previous band (with EMGs and a hi-Mass bridge) and I played it a lot. I really like the neck finish. It never got grubby though as I always wash my hands before playing.

Marching to the Sea - The Residents

Sell American - The Residents

King Kong - The Residents

Boots - The Residents

Calamari Lady - The Residents

Ship of Fools - The Residents

Bottom right: D1 & D2 appear to be a classic arrangement of clipping diodes - It'll probably be these providing any dirt rather than the valve.

Keep Torquay - The Residents
