Beautiful collection. I love that Stingray- very classy.

That Stingray is Very Excellent, never had a bettter neck in any bass I've owned! It's the one that everyone wants to buy

I dunno Id quite like the Jazz, tell us more about it?

[Arwid]

Aah, that Jazz has been with me as long as I've been playing, it has had every kind of pick ups in it, but I really liked it when it had the cream coloured DiMarzios in it.. wonderful soft and dark bridge pickup sound and a neck pick up that sounded really good.
I don't like those quarter pounders that much, they do have too much of "wrong" (for me) mids built in, but wonderful soft bass may I add!!
I'll have that bass as long as live, it's not even close to a perfect bass but every time I see it I know that we'll travel together

That's a very nice Wal 5!

What didn't you like about the Wal to begin with? It's gorgeous! I'd love to have a Wal. I was playing some jazz (really badly) on Wed night and one of the saxophonists there is also a bassist. He has 2 basses, both Wals, one fretted and one fretless. He honestly had no idea how much they are worth now - he bought them about 15/20 years ago from a shop...

Can I have yours?

I didn't like that tight string spacing and it was very easy to dial stupid sounds out of it before I learned what to do with the controls. What amazes me the most now, is its bass response. I don't know how they've managed to do that, it's built like any bass I know, but it has a lot of low end. A lot.
