Top row (L-R): 75 P, 73 P fretless, 72 P, 75 P, 78 P, 77 J.
Center: 66 Mustang, 78 Musicmaster, 78 Musicmaster, 77 Musicmaster, 73 Ric, 86 Ric Shadow.
Bottom row: 64 Gretsch 6070, 61 Gibson ES125T, 86 LP Jr (57 reissue), 79 Strat, 90's Yamaha FG450SA.
Left: (top) 1960 Reghin (Romania) upright, (bottom) my son's 1/2-size German upright.
Not pictured: a no-name nylon string guitar.
Nice herd, although I'm surprised by the disproportionate love for the heavyweight 70s Fenders.
very nice! does the 1/2 size doghouse have a good sound?
Beautiful!!!
Very nice! I have a soft spot for those late 70's Fenders. Ever since I drooled over that nice catalog that came out in 1976.
Lovely Rickenbackers...........You're making me miss my old '73 4001!
wow. :o very very nice
Nice to see you still have the Gretsch 6070. Now all you need is another EB-2. ;)
Isn't that Gretsch model also known as the "John Holmes" model? :-[
Thanks guys!
Mark: The P's and J are not heavy, they are all ~ 9 lbs except for the 75 sunburst/rosewood (my best sounding P) which is 10 lbs. The '72 is 8.2 lbs and the Mustang is 7.2 lbs.
birdie: the 1/2 has nice tone with Spiro's, but bowed isn't as loud as the full-size bass.
Dave: right now I think I have pretty much everything I need. :mrgreen:
I'm giving a lot more attention to the upright these days, while the electrics collect a little dust. But I know I'll return to them.
A very nice collection, Ilan... all that's missing is a nice T'bird or an EB, or... ;)

He had an EB-2 and sold it, that's why I was ribbing him.
Actually with guitars I like Gibsons a lot. You see that 2 out of my 3 six-string guitars are Gibsons, and they are spectacular. As for basses, not really a big fan of the mudbucker-and-neck-dive combination, but I could go for a nice G3, I've always liked them.
Very cool pic, very cool collection!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I get old I'll have an upright. :D
My maple RD Artist was reasonably well balanced before I "modified" her, and as you play fretless acoustics I can wholeheartedly recommend the sound (nothing like "mud"), passively, and the fretless modification, but if your a purist...
Terr... some funky walking stick... ;D
