Pics of what? The Arnold Schnitzer basses we don't own? It's a fan club (count me in!), not an owners' club, and no owners have piped up just yet.

One hand carved, one New Standard.
And I'm a fan of Barbara Schnitzer.

Two New Standards, and a fan of Arnold's work in general. Someday I hope to own one of his handmade basses.

La Scala owner. After 5 years the love affair hasn't diminished.

Don't mean to poo on the party but I think Mr Muroki (and others) might be looking for owners of handmade basses by Mr Schnitzer. Not to say that the New Standard basses aren't awesome....

There is certainly a substantial difference! Those fortunate few who own a handmade bass by Mr. S. are very well off indeed!
