Recommended Posts

late 70's Stingray
recent Stingray with status graphite neck
Gibsin RD Artist
Gibson Grabber
Yamaha TRB4
Hohner B2B
Musicman Sub 5
Encore Ltd Edition P-bass
70's Shaftesbury Rick copy
Hudson Electro Acoustic
No name 4 string solidbody

Bunch of les pauls and a couple of accoustics

Hohner (recently bought from Burpster) is my current main bass due back problems, otherwise it would be the 'Ray with the Status neck.
So now looking at trying out the new Status Streamliner and if I like it then that could be the next purchase.

So if anyone wants a Grabber, RD Artist, or Yamaha TRB4 and is not in a hurry they are all up for grabs. Just have to get them from Libya to you!

[quote name='funkysimon' post='59747' date='Sep 13 2007, 10:38 AM']Three basses (Warwick Fortress 1, Yamaha BBG5 which is for sale and a Yamaha RBX fretless), three guitars (Musicman Silhouette, Patrick Eggle Berlin, Taylor acoustic).

Three: it's the magic number.[/quote]
Wow!!! Another Patrick Eggle owner, good man. I have a rather stunning '93 Vienna.

Nice! My Berlin Plus is a slightly less stunning brown-burst (sounds like something that happens after a night on the pop), but plays and sounds fantastic.

Umm, at the moment i have...

Cort Curbow 6 string
Defretted WAshburn MB6 6 string
Squier VM Jazz
Alden Violin
Aria SLB2 ( my first bass)
Aria MAB10 fretless
DeArmond Ashbory
NS Wav EUB

Nearly all get regular use ( the Arias not so much although the fretless is a great recording bass, and I only got the Wav yesterday so still learning how to play it!)

Cheers,
Alun

Just the 2 - a fretted and a fretless.

If I got any more basses, it would most probably be to replace one of the one's I've got. I like to keep my gear to a bare minimum - less to look after, but I daresay this attitude would change if I suddenly had a lot of spare cash lying around!

21 - sort of:

CSL Custom Jazz copy
Ibanez P copy
Kasuga Rickenbugger
Ibanez RS924 Roadster
Aria STB-GT
Ibanez EDA900
Ibanez SR800
Aria Pro II RSB Deluxe II
Peavey C5
Yamaha SBV500
Tokai Talbo
Wesley Europa
Hohner B2A

Franconia Jazz copy*
No-name (possibly Kay) P copy*
Ibanez SR800FL*
Marlin P/J copy*
Gibson Grabber copy*

Project Jazz
Project WTF
Project Junkenstein*

Those marked with an * are "passing through". But sometimes they do seem to pass through awfully slowly!

The 3 projects are more just necks, bodies & boxes of bits - what they lack is time, obviously - and the SR800 that's not "passing through" is now officially my daughter's - waiting for the day she stops messing round with 6-stringed toys and keyboards. I live in eternal hope she'll come to her senses, one day... :)

Jon.

5 basses

Takamine EG512CGAMQ - a beautiful acoustic bass with quilted maple top and sides
My own custom build - my favourite electric bass to play
2003 Epiphone EB-3 - my first bass, will never be sold unless utterly destitute, still loving the mud though
OLP MM3 - a five string experiment, still undecided as to whether to keep it
Perspex AXL Player Deluxe - bought for the novelty value, it's got a nice sound to it but heavy as hell to cart around

2 projects in progress

1966 Hagstrom H-IIB - currently being stripped for refinishing, electronics need complete replacement except for the pickups
Fretless Squier Bullet - stalled waiting for clear pickguard to arrive (supplier awaiting more stock), need to buy some router bits as well for digging out a battery box for the active EMG P.

Unfortunately I won't get to keep the Hagstrom :)

four:
vox custom (quite like an SB1000)
alembic 5
veillette citron 8
veillette citron - picked it up to do a fretless conversion that hasn't happened.

I'd be pleased with myself - except in the last couple years I've added four guitars, so they now outnumber the basses by 1. to be fair, one is a bo diddleyesque travel piece using a salvaged neck, and one is an el cheapo for visiting kids to mess about on without causing me concerns.

5 five, what do I need with 5 basses, that's 4 more than i need.

I was shocked when I realised. But that includes one that's been on long term 'lone' to a friend (Fenix mini bass - same scale length as a Strt guitar), and the one that I stopped using 10 years ago and is in the attic (stingray copy can;t even remember who made it)

Of the other 3 I only really gig one of them (the Yamaha TRB), one lies around the house for noodling on (Spector), and the Warwick, well i looks pretty doesn't it!

Ooooh and I have a double too, but that's different isn't it? Please don't tell me it's 6.
