I have never taken a picture of just my birds in all their assorted variations. I learned along time ago it is not wise to leave basses lying around the house it inevitably raise the question from my wife just how many basses do you have and that is a question I would rather not answer. Top row Fenderbird build from '82, 2001 Thunderbird the infamous "Butcher Bird", '76 Thunderbird. Bottom row '67 NR II, '69 NR II, '67 NR II restored, NR Fenderbird, Bach TH-1(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/Thunderbirdfamily2010007.jpg)

That is an outstanding photo! Thanks for posting it!
-
Nice positioning of reverse and nonreverse.
Is the bottom center the one you bought that had half the body broken off?
-
Nice collection.
-
Nice to see a group shot Scott ;D
But I know there's more basses than that at your house! ;)
-
great pic!
-
I know guilt when I see it. Notice how the wild saw's devastation on the lower cutaway of the white TB IV Rev is "coincidentally" covered by a headstock from a Rev in the front row? It must have taken Scott hours to get that angle right to craft this slyly deceptive photo document and cover up his orginal sin. Yet I am not fooled!
;D ;D ;D

Great shot! Keep it up. I sense a red II joining the flock very soon.
-
Nice! Is there a favorite?

Yep that's it still in primer I will finish it this spring. I took it to rehearsal a few weeks ago, plays and sounds great!
-

That is a tough question ! It would have to be the '69 NR II I have owned that bass since '78 and my main bass for so many years it is only in the last year or so I stopped taking it to gigs :sad: I may start again what good is it if you don't play it ? I use the NR Fenderbird a lot on stage, my favorite gigging bass at the moment.

By sticking by one instrument (when you have a herd) may leave you to fall into the very trap you so dearly want to avoid... (shrill, wife's voice screaming...HOW MANY...?)
Very nice shot, btw... (what does Uwe know, anyway...? ;D)
-
Great shot & nice collection. I still like the non reverses better, although Marks collection is certainly amazing as well (at least more colorful)

I love that '67 on the lower left. She's hot!

(that's the one we mostly said "leave alone and don't refin", iirc)

No new "family" shots from me until it warms up and gets sunny here, I also have to work out a new format because there are too many 'Birds for an "end" shot with my beloved Subaru 8)

Thanks John, The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was that my collection looks a bit drab next to Marks ! That trans Cherry Bach should liven things up !
-
I'm all over that "'67 NR II"...I'd gladly give it the 1971 Entwistle treatment with a coat of red paint!
Nice Flocking Flock!!! ;D
-
Gorgeous Flockin' Bird Herd! 8)
-
Great shot of the Harem!
Funny, but, we have the same couch and the same lamp. I also own a bandsaw ;)
-
Very nice, Chief!
-
What more can one need? In bass-way, anyway!
-
Great flock shots Scott!

Yes, but it fits you & Marks fits him & his stage image. Subtlity is nice thing as well. Another thing is apparent with your collection- they are meant to be be played or modified, as tools of music, not collectables. It makes them so much better.

Subtlety and Fräulein Rommel. She really invented it.

I'm subtle...................
Like a trainwreck ;)

An HO scale trainwreck? :mrgreen:

I think Mark is about as subtle as a G scale train wreck.
