Teisco 6-string bass
Hi folks! My first post on this forum. Here is a rare one for you good people. Anyone else have one of these? I picked it up a few years ago for a modest $600. I've learned they have appreciated quite a bit since then. Musicman thought they were the first to make an offset peghead. Nope, these guys did it first with the 4/2 arrangement. Ibanez thought they were the first to do a "monkey grip" on their guitars...nope, these guys did it first. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater
Cool guitar and fun to play! Its a short scale (30") 3 pickups with rocker switches can bring up any configuration and even has a whammy bar! Basically the same strings used on the Fender VI.

I've never seen one in the wild, but I've been interested in them, ever since I saw Blonde Redhead using them back in the late 90s.
Rare as hen's teeth, as they say.
Good score!

Re: Teisco 6-string bass

Maybe I’ve got the model wrong, but I think Eastwood is issuing their version of this Bass: https://eastwoodguitars.com/products/tb64

Didn't Paul Rhoney do one of these a bunch of years back? I seem to remember the thread[s].
