show your multiple bass pictures!

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

My latest shots of my lefties:

Wow!!!!! Lefty Heaven!!!!!!!!!! 
I'll get some shots of my instruments soon, I swear.

I can't believe I started this thread over 3 years ago! Today was a nice sunny winter day in the San Francisco Bay Area, not too cold, so I decided to take pictures of some basses - pictures I've been meaning to take but too lazy to make happen!

This is a shot that I've been wanting to take for a long time - I call it "brown 1970s basses":



It's not complete - still need to get my Alembic doubleneck in there, but I also wanted a pic of just these two. The Triumph is early-'70s, the Ric is 1976.

Feel free to help me revive this thread by posting more pics!

Don't have many multi-bass pics, found these on my hard drive.  Don't believe I have posted them.  Many of these are gone now.



'85 Exploiter/Spoiler flanked by (~2004?) Ristola fretless and 5



80's B.C Rich Bich 8, Dean Rhapsody 12


Ristola again, Mouradian CS-74, '92 Tobias Killer B


'79 4001--Danelectro ...something (30" scale, late 90's-early 00's)--Vox Apollo IV (back)--CS--Kent guitar--Warwick Corvette Fretless--BC Rich Platinum series Warlock

Wowzer - nice collection!

[fealach]

Most of that last pic are gone, sold off to buy others that I don't have group shots of, but it's one of the few times I had them all together.  Still have the Mouradian and the Kent (sentimental - 1st electric, gift from neighbor who is no longer with us).  The current collection is still too big to fit in one pic and still have them be big enough to identify.  The 3 in the top pic and the Bich are still with me, though the Bich is now BEAD - low 4 of a baritone guitar, with octave up strings. 

When I look at pics of the Ric and Vox I miss them, but realistically the Vox didn't sound very good and the Ric wasn't touched after I got the Mouradian.

Tragically, the posters in the old jam room did not survive.

I find those Gibsons intriguing.  Probably never get the chance to play one, but they look exceptionally cool.  Short scale, blocks, 24 frets...these things I like.

Love that black Exploiter  

The Triumph is one of my favorites.  Here's mine amongst peers:


73 Guild JS2 (now lives in S. Korea), 73 Triumph, 68 EB-3, 66 EB-2D, 81 Ibanez ST-980, 82 Alembic Distillate


82 Roland G505, 76 Thunderbird, MIJ Pbass, 73 Ric, BaCHbird, 78 Ric, 81 Roland G808

I have some other stragglers- old fretless Stingray, Christopher 3/4 upright, etc.  I don't play fretless or upright much anymore (used to be the opposite), but I've hung onto those in case I ever circle back that way.  I've also sold a handful of basses over the past couple years... ones that seemed redundant [gives MG Ric the evil eye...] or that I just wasn't playing regularly.

 Ahhh.......The Zombie thread 

I looked back at page one - My pretties have grown in number!

The ones that stand out to me are the Exploiter (I had one with a natural finish - my first Alembic!), the BC Rich 8-string, and the Mouradian. Jim Mouradian was local to me when I lived in Boston - I would take my basses to him for setups over the years, and I remember he had a cool blueprint of that Mouradian body shape framed up on the wall.

I'll try something a bit different.....my acoustic basses.

Lakeland made original Warwick Alien that was the first ever in the U.S. back around 1992 and meant for TM Stevens after I wrote the magazine review on it. But I liked it so much that I kept it and bought it...so they had to get another for TM

Parker PAB40 and Dillion limited edition 5.

Just got together with some fellow Alembicians:





The doubleneck is mine, the 12-string is a '77, the small body on the right is a '76 Series II.
