Love the artwork your wife did on those, Exiled!  (especially the Precision)

Does it require a degree in technology to operate your BCR...? ;D
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Eh.. it's not too difficult.  There's only one volume control, and the rest is used to alter the gravitational rotation of Earth.

Don't ever touch the chicken head knob, though...  Ever.

Thank you! She likes to paint fairy/fantasy stuff, but for this I convinced her to change it juuust a little bit...

Ah... global warming, yes...? had to be a true cause rather than all this hydrocarbon nonsense...

Hi, they are custom built unpowered Leslie cabinets with treble and bass rotors and a front loaded old Altec and Ev, I got them from the estate of an Hammond player. They were kinda in kit form but in a couple hours I had 2 working Leslies for $20.00! They sound incredible with the 12er, nothing like 200 lbs of chorus pedal.

12-string bass and Leslie is a killer! I use a Rotosphere pedal for the effect, a good substitute.

This is a bit more current than my last, but still missing a few additions:



I've flipped the MIM Deluxe P Bass Special, Dean AEB, and the SX P that's laying down - but, added:

mid 80s MIJ Jazz Bass Special fretless(unlined)
Schecter Hellraiser-5
Breedlove Atlas Studio AEB
Epi Goth T-bird that's going to morph into a Fenderbird sometime this year

I'll probably get an updated pic done soon - I might be forgetting something, too...

My photo skills are far from great, but I'll give it a shot (pun maybe intended). From the left side:

Bach NR II (stock)


I finally caved in on my stock blue BaCH and put in CTS pots, a new jack and LaBella flats. What a difference. Such great basses.

That is the only bass that I ever regretted selling. And I only sold it because I had the Pelham blue turd on the way, which now that I think about it, is the only bass I regret buying.

Hahaha!!! - I suppose, but I'm actually considering picking up one of the SUB guitars to complete my Music Man SUB collection... IMO, they've been one of the best values in an MIA bass for awhile now...

OK, here's an updated pic I took a few minutes ago - please excuse the quality, as it's obvious that the photog budget went to buying basses:
