hey guy's, the ultimate collection would be a bunch of wish basses. come on, just get old wish to make you up 10 basses of any style he see's fit, The results would be a more eccentric, individual style bass thatn any collection of Fenders, Zons or conklins could ever be.

By the way, in all seriousness, i suddennly feel inspired to say I dont like conklins, Something about them just rubs me the wrong way. Iv'e nevr played one or anything, but the look, I just cant dig it,

love

 

[Erlendur Már]

I'd like to go into the 6-string bass realm, but i'm yet to own one and see if it really is my thing.

Considering 6-strings are my thing...

6 string hanewinckel fretted ash jazz
6 string hanewinckel fretless mahogany dual soaps
And my current basses, minus the p-bass - and maybe the jazz eventually...
