My Hagström HB-8
My first bass :D An 8-string Hagström HB-8. Nice bass, optically inspired by the '68 original. It's heavy, though, and the stock strings are quite high in tension - and the tone shaping can be quite troublesome. Yet, it's a beast on its own, and I like it :D
'74 Rickenbacker 4001
Front of the head stock; with the original plexi truss rod cover (TRC)
'74 Rickenbacker 4001
Back of the headstock; apparently, one screw had been replaced, and one washer has oxidised(?) - might be a replaced washer, as well.
'74 Rickenbacker 4001
Front of the body - the neck pickup is in the "old" position; closer to the fretboard.

From the Sixties! Older than me, played with it as a child, later used it for mic'ing my bass, now I sing through it. It's the most personal microphone I have \m/

My '77 Rickenbacker 4001
The photo was taken in our rehearsal room - sorry for the poor image quality, I only have a pocket camera.
Ampeg V-4B 2013 Reissue + 4x 210AV
My Ampeg V-4B, 4x 210AV, and my Rickenbacker 4001 :D Of the 4x 210AV, I only use 2x 210AV for rehearsals - 4x 210AV is either way too loud, or when the volume is turned down, I get too much drums bleeding into the recording. For all wondering if 2x 210AV would get loud enough to match a loud drummer in volume in a small rehearsal room - yes, it's safe giving it a try.
