Once I sell the 5 string sibling of the jazz bass below (consecutive serial numbers even!) I will be down to 2 basses after peaking around 9 over the last few years.

I’m sure someday I’ll end up with more again, but for now I’m very happy with these two.

I have 11 strings of bass right now. An Ibanez SG Gio 6 string and the basic bitch cheapest Ellefson Jackson 5 string. Would love to add a 5 or 6 string graphite neck bass in my price range like a Peavy GV.

Ok so I order #18 but the order was cancelled because the bass was damaged in shipping. So I was offered a deal that I could not pass up. #18 arrived today. Electronics were not working and 3 machine keys were broken. I cracked it open and found so easily fixable wiring problems and she roared to life. I was able to tune it using a ignition wrench set up was good I played it and it sounds great so Xmas will bring new machine heads and a some strap locks still needs to be cleaned up but here she is

Look great!

Aren't the D and G strings wound the wrong way?

You should have asked for an extra discount

I am a guitar and bass builder. I have 4 basses and planning another. All 30.5" scale. One with PJ setup, one with early 50s fender single coil pickup, a fretless with ebony fretboard and jazz bass pickup, a fat acoustic/electric with a martin 000 style body and jazz bass pickup. The new project is a Ric 330 hollow body with seymour duncan Ric neck pickup. Gary Stevens. GS Custom Guitars. Florida USA
