Willie G. Moseley Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Bass was custom ordered by an active duty Marine, finished in a flat military green. Unsure if the rank applies to the guy that ordered it. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie G. Moseley Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Here ya go. Painted by legendary North Carolina automotive artist Wayne Jarrett (one of his less fancy efforts but still very cool). Hallmark makes instruments inspired by Bakersfield guitars and basses from the '60s (Mosrite Ventures, original Hallmark company Swept-Wing, Gruggett Stradette, etc.).

The crossed rifles would indicate it was a Marine Staff Sgt. I think you were half right and I was all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
