Just when you think you seen it all, this is from a Left Handed guitar facebook page. Now not actually sure the bass is a Ric as the picture does not show the headstock but none the less worth a view. Has anyone ever had a bass with a Wammy Bar?

Neat. I have never used a whammy bar. I don't even ever use it on a guitar. Maybe if I ever get to Les Claypool-caliber of playing (yeah, right!) I might give it a shot.

Kahler has been making after-market bass whammys - here modeled by The Cars' beautiful Ben Orr in 1984 - for years.

Les Claypool has been playing using whammy bars for quite a while now.

several of his Carl Thompson basses have it




as well as his Pachyderm one



Also Victor Wooten had one in one of his Fodera:



Lee Sklar and Billy Sheehan also had tremolo bars at some point if I'm not mistaken.

Nonetheless, that is one sexy looking Black Beauty, and the scorpion decal puts the poison-icing on the cake!

Well, lookie here:

I got one on mine and when I sell it the next person will have one....lol

I even had a gold one on it for a while

When I worked at Guitar Center in Berkeley back in '93, a used lefty Ibanez SR800 with a Kahler bass tremolo came in.

It also had Bartolini pickups which weren't so common back then. It was just such a weird bass all the way around.

I wanted it so bad... but I was broke (I worked at GC... DUH!) and some righty dude came in and bought it FOR THE PARTS.
