Yeah. Which Steinberger model is that? And how would you describe the general aspects of tone, tightness, sustain?
It's actually a Hohner- whichever model came w/the EMG Select, crappy, useless preamp & super-cool detuner. VERY bright, very good sustain(my neck-through Stambaugh 6 edges it out slightly in this dept). I ripped the neck PU out as it impeded slapstyle, but it was very *rear PU*-sounding already. I did a shameful defret yras ago, but it's actually still quite playable. The *mwah* is out of CONTROL on this bass. I may go insane & glue on body wings someday.
Cool collection...I like that black/black/maple and the Stammy...I had a Spirit with the same pickups, but found that the reach was too much for me, so I sold it. Definitely cool little basses, and everyone always asks about them. Plus, you can look like this dude!
Oh, and I'll take that cream J cover off your hands if you ever want to sell

2 things:
1) If you glue wings onto the Stienberger clone, I want a poster of it.
2) Why do you even know that video exists?
I mean, DUDE! Let's overlook the obvious deficiencies of the whole thing and ask ourselves, "Did that guy just say that he's playing rock 'n roll? Seriously?"

Was that video serious?
Do you know if the Washburn acoustics ever cam with a magnetic pickup, I saw one at a local shop and was freaking out.

I've never seen a mag PU on a Washburn like mine, but I've often wonered how it would sound- I'm not a big fan of the typical piezo sound.
No comment on the video, except to say it's at least amusing.
Lastly, should I actually shutup & graft a proper/traditional body onto the Hohneberger, I would of course post the entire process.

Wow man, congrats.
That has to be the most beautiful ABG I've ever seen.
Got any more pics of that one?
I know nothing of Warwicks, what is with that pickup placement? Is that normal?
That seems like an MM.
Nice though.

Merci, Rene. 
That is I believe pretty close to if not exactly the same pickup spacing as a Musicman Stingray, & also as far as I know the only Warwick like that. There were also 'Masterman'(a play on *Musicman*)versions of the Streamer & Forteress basses, but they had dual-Jazz pickups.
The FNA(Formerly Named Altus, I'm told- something to do w/a copyright or business name, IIRC)has a very bright natural tone, w/lots of range via the 3-band EQ. The blond has a Seymour Duncan 18V preamp that is VERY powerful; I tend to roll the high end totally off & juuust tap the mid for a bit more cut if needed.
The red one will very likely be FS soon. 
Ben, I will try to find(as well as take)some more shots of the Stammie- there is at least one on Jared Lash's Stambaugh gallery.
Oh- and BUI, I actually have another set of DiMarzio/Schaller PJs; not sure what I'm going to do w/them...

Not that I have any particular biases, but have you any more pictures of that Stammie?
Just looked- none ATM, but here's one that got away:
I'll take some of the fretted 6 & load in a couple of days- my flickr acct is at the limit & I'm too cheap to fork over for unlimited access.
Yeah, I remember that one. I was gutted when you sold it (mostly gutted that I didn't have the cash to take it off your hands).
