BACKSTORY
In the early days when I had nothing but a blue Squier P-Bass, I was completely against traditional models of bass and guitar. I looked at P-Basses and Stingrays as if they were antiquated tools of the old guard. I wanted something that was fun, flashy, and not shaped like a P-Bass. So I ended up with this funky offset thing from DiPinto that had P-Bass electronics. Damn it's stylish though! This was my main axe from high school and well after college.
This discontinued glitter-bomb model was designed for Pete Curry of Los Straitjackets and has a matching guitar version. I hear Chris DiPinto still makes custom guitars in Philly. I need to make a trip!
