whats the blue 1 on the far left called

[Clarky]

Danelectro Longhorn?

Who is that dude, beerdragon?

[jezzaboy]

I think his name is Jammy Bas**rd, or something similar.

[Golchen]

can't see any that appeal to me particularly. I hate the danelectro longhorn shape, the vox teardrop and the hohner violin for starters!

Thats the late Allen Woody of the Allman Brothers and Goverment Mule. He had quite a collection.

I wonder, in my crazy world, if he was ever introduced to Woody Allen?

Aha, was just playing Jessica by the Allman Bros a couple of days ago when on holiday - cool bass line in that one

[Chris2112]

Aside from the Modulus though, I can't make out much that suits my taste! A collection that largely leaves me cold!

The legendary 18 string Modulus is in that photo.
That's a 6 string bass with each string having two octave strings.

Allan Woody looks like Bob Carolgees from Tiswas in that photo.

[beerdragon]

As a Tribute to Allen Woody, Government Mule released an album called the Deep End and it featured John Entwistle. Jack Bruce, Flea, Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Roger Glover. and thats only Vol1, Vol 2 Featured Les Claypool. Billy Cox, Phil Lesh, Tony Levin, Chris Squire and Jason newstead. thats where my next tenners going.

I think original Allman Brothers bass player Berry Oakley played on 'Jessica'.

The Allen Woody 'Deep End' tribute CD's are really good. There is a live version available too in a CD/DVD package,as well
as a 'making of' DVD by Mike Gordon of Phish.

blimey, he's got a great big Modulus 18 string bass there from the looks of it (5th in from the right) and a Warwick Buzzard (dead centre at the back). The others aren't as interesting or are hard to identify.

[Chris2112]

Third from the left in the first row of standing basses, do I spy a Fodera Emperor?

He didn't look after them very well. Have you seen the bend in some of those necks?
