That's it for now, folks.

 

All the pre digital photography are missing as well as some that I forgot to photograph like some 1964 Fender Precision Basses...

 

Told ya!

Well that was like one of the best slide shows I’ve seen, amazing amount of lovely basses, I’ve probably had around 50 jazzes and precision’s but not the amount of variety you’ve had, lovely

I believe I may have owed 80% of all basses in existence at least for a short period of time... WAY to many have passed through my hands over the years to post. 

 

Here's a highlight... there have been, currently are, and will be many more.

Thanks Chris aka @Beedster for not even taking a look at around 140 photos!

 

Not sure I get what you mean?

 

EDIT

Ah yes I do, nothing deliberate Tony, I think i just had BC fatigue at the wrong moment and was on the phone and out so failed to see them all 👍

If it's any consolation. I've looked at all of the pictures and liked the two fretless Precisions, 'cos they're the only ones I actually liked. Each to their own.

 

It's an immensely impressive collection by any standard, even by the standards of immensely impressive collections, but certainly seems to veer firmly in the direction of what I've always thought of - rightly or wrongly - the Eurobass side of things. I'm a luddite Brit at heart, I like a Precision, if pushed a Jazz, if really pushed a Wal or a Ric. Despite that massive collection, it was the beautiful '70 Precision that caught my eye the most. Sorry Tony :)  

 

As an aside, I'll never forget - because it was so unexpected and inappropriate - what a musician said to me when he saw me with a Yamaha TRB-6 around my neck. Made me realise that 4 strings and Leo-designed is where my soul resides :)

Alembic Elan 1991

A beauty for sure and one of my favourite alembic body styles. I have one that was originally purple and Toby Diggins removed the colour for me and resprayed with clear finish and now it's just the natural quilt maple top. I think mine is 1989.

I know exactly how lucky have been. . . .  and still am.

 

In the last 20 years I've owned a US Lakland 55-94, a Wal mk2, a Wal mk3 and the Mike Lull PJ5 and Sadowsky RV5 Jazz which are my #1 basses today.

 

I've loved playing every one of these guys and they all made me sound better than I could have hoped.
