Not my full collection, but just shot this with my mobile phone:

 

From left to right:

Aria Pro II tuned in regular 4 string bass E standard tuning

 

5 string Mikro Bass tuned in G standard tuning, as in 3 half steps above the upper 5 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning

 

4 string Mikro Bass tuned in A# standard tuning, as in 1 half steps above the upper 4 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning

 

 

Beside that I also own: Harley Benton GuitarBass (Bass VI) - Egmund  (exeptionally crappy, basically unplayable, short scale vintage late 60's bass) - Epiphone SG Special (electric guitar) - Santana (short scale classical nylon string acoustic guitar)

2004 American Deluxe QMT Jazz in Amber

 

 

That QMT is gorgeous! 
 

I remember seeing a picture of it in the Fender catalogue on the way home from the Birmingham Music Show (likely in 2004) and falling in love! 
 

It was a bit of a Wayne’s world ‘It will be mine’ moment… I was 13 at the time, so needless to say i didn’t have the funds for one. Completely forgot about them until seeing this picture 😍

That is literally what happened to me!

I had a copy of the Frontline Catalogue in Autumn 2003 before I moved to uni and I would just stare at the pics of the QMT in there and imagine owning one.

Only ever saw one in person before -  in Music Maker in Dublin one day when skipping a boring computer class. 

I got very lucky when this one turned up, had to have it!!!

Awesome! Now you come to mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the flesh.

 

I also now realise why I like the flamed top Sire basses so much. Very QMT-esq!

Those 12s are very cool! How do they balance? I had an 8-string with a Thunderbird body but the neckdive was horrible.

None of them suffer neck dive. I use extremely lightweight tuners.

Here are two videos where you can see they balance perfectly:
