This close enough? Me playing a monocoque carbon bass in my band (circa 1984)

You mean your "electric bass guitar"? That always bothered me- "bass guitar".

Bass guitars are common. I can truly say I've never seen a trout guitar. I got stoned once and saw a catfish playing a banjo though.

fiamme red, that is the first thing I thought of when I saw acoustic bikes. I saw Zappa and the Mothers a couple of times. They put on a really good show with a lot of antics and stage props.

Steve Allen: "How long have you been playing bike, Frank?"
Frank Zappa: "About two weeks."

That got a big laugh from the audience.

Here's a video of the show with much better quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF0PYQ8IOL4.
