Nice collection.

[BigBeefChief]

Now that's eclectic!

Dougal - a few questions if you will indulge me.

1) What is your full postal address?
2) Do you have a dog?
3) When will you next be out?

That 'ray is a thing of beauty, if you get bored of it shoot me a PM.

All gorgeous, but I just can't keep my eyes off that Ray.

I love it when something so simple has that effect on me.

Lovely Jazz & Ray

[SJA]

is that a Wishbass?

[Machines]

I want your Bongo. Give it me or I will have to ban you.

I mean it.

Looks as though it's been mod'd into playability...

My son plays this, mostly. It's a nice gimmick, but never used in anger.

Carvin XB75P (Tuned F#BEAD)[/b]
Death Metal Bass. Koa top. Really nice player.

[b]Musicman Bongo[/b]
Good all around bass. Some people don't like it. I traded in a fretless 5 thumb for it. Miss that thumb some. Best overall sounding.

EUB. I try.

[b]Stingray[/b]
Everyone should own at least one 'ray in their life. This one could cut cheese with the sound.

[b]MIJ Jazz (w/ Badass and Lindly Fralins)[/b]
Just an awesome player. Gassed for a Jazz, played about 30 in shops around Shinjuku and Shibuya. This was the best.

[b]GW #23.[/b]
Best overall playing / comfort.

[b]Wish peanut 6 fretless[/b]
Wish claims he makes "Paint brushes for musicians". I think he makes baseball bats with strings. It's a 6-er fretless so it gets some use. The neck takes some getting used to.

I ordered it unfinished:


It was far from perfect:


Here's the neck, compared to a thumb fretless (fattest neck I had...)


I finished it in tung oil, and fitted an adjustable bridge.


It does have some nice contouring behind the neck....

i really like that jazz, just the type im hoping to swap for my Geddy, if it ever arrives!

[Jase]

Killer Jazz.

[Gwilym]

nice collection - that Carvin looks really nice, and the GW too (I had to look them up [url="http://www.gwbasses.com/index.shtml)"]http://www.gwbasses.com/index.shtml)[/url] - how did you come by that one?

[Thunderthumbs]

Really nice collection that. One for every job there, eh?

I'm also liking that Carvin. Looks really nice.

[7string]

Very cool collection!!

First Wishbass that I've seen on this forum. I've been tempted by them when I've seen one on eBay...

I spent six years living in NY, USA - when I fell in with what I'd describe as a 'bad crowd' at www.uglybassplayer.com

One of the initiation rites to the club is you have to order a bass from Grandon & then wait for over a year for it to arrive.

It is the nicest player of the bunch by some margin: it just sounds flat. There's no top end 'zing' to it. Shame really because otherwise I really wouldn't need another bass (at least, that's what I tell myself...) Tempted to replace the electronics with those from the Bongo to see what happens, but the PUPs are just completely the wrong shape.

[Mr. Foxen]

I had no idea that GW and that wishbass were in this country. Both are really familar to look at due to UBP.

[OutToPlayJazz]

I'm with Machines on the Bongo 5... Hand it over if you want to live, LOL!

Lovely collection - What's the single cut like to play? Always wondered about one of those.

[Higgie]

Hmm, you seem to be missing a P bass...

Haha, jokes aside - what a fantastic collection!!
