Here's an "old school" style 6-string bass (i.e. tuned as a guitar but an octave down - guitar string spacing, etc
The two most striking things about Lindert guitars are the oh-so-cool vintage radiogram styling on the front of the body, complete with cloth “speaker-grill” inserts, plus the famous “Thumbs Up” headstock. (Apparently Lindert was so chuffed with his original designs, that after giving himself a mental thumbs-up, he then went ahead and created the slightly goofy headstock)
Rich chocolaty Black with Cream sides, tweed “grill inserts”, old bakelite-style chickenhead knobs – this is one of the coolest looking guitars you’ll ever see.
Lindert Guitars was a hand-made electric guitar manufacturing company founded in 1986 in Chelan Falls in Wenatchee, Washington. Production of guitars was moved to Korea and the company shut down shortly afterwards, with the last guitars created around 2002. Most of their guitars were named following a railway theme, with names including Conductor, Diesel and Loco-Motive.
These unusual guitars were hand made and featured moulded resin bodies with cloth or tweed insets that resembled those found on vintage radios. They are also known for the "escape velocity" neck profile - ergonomically designed to be half rounded and half vee for faster playing action and less hand fatigue, which is regarded as one of their strongest features. All Lindert guitars also featured a headstock which resembles a hand giving a "thumbs up", a design patented by Lindert himself. The maker was supposedly so pleased with the design of his guitar body that he gave himself a mental thumbs-up, and then decided to fashion the headstock to resemble one. Some models included the "Missing Link" switch, which allowed several pickup combinations not available on other guitars, including neck/bridge and using all three pickups at once.
Lindert guitars have become highly sought by collectors due to their quirky and unusual designs, quality construction, good sound and scarcity.
It's hard to find what I consider proper 6-string basses these days (and most "baritone guitars" don't go down low enough) and have you seen the prices that a Fender Bass VI now commands?
