Basses Used During Tour

Ant,

How many basses did you carry with you while touring with Victor? How many time did you spend playing different basses besides the Fodera that you normally play?

I normally tour with 2 basses. I refer to them as 'plug 1' and 'plug 2'. My #1 is a Fodera Imperial with a chestnut top. My #2 is a Fodera Imperial with a Yin/Yang top.

But I'll bring various other bases out for fun. Or I'll buy basses while I'm on the road.

I'm having a custom made 5 string Rickenbacker clone made. It's gonna' be fun.

peace,
anthony

Yea,...standard spacing, 35" scale. Seymour Duncan dual coils. It'll be my sound but a Ric look.

I know its not your style to post videos of yourself, but is there anyway you can post a video with your Custom Ying Yang 6 string?

Yea Jim, #1 and 2 are on left of that picture on my website and Facebook page.

My #1 fits me better than any article of clothing I own.

When she's in my hands everything is right in my world!

Ant's 5003

Please note that this is an "Exhibition" instrument, other wise, I'd probably get sued and/or chewed out by Ric enthusiasts.......

I will not build this bass again.

Sneak peek:
