It's something about a green bass that get's me hot?
Love the Schecter’s and that SA200 is not too shabby either.

Let me see your same style bass collections

Thanks for your reply. This "hybrid" fascinates me..
I like G&Ls, although I had different model (MJ-4). And I see Serek somewhere in my future - after I recover from my last bass purchase. But I was thinking to get some shorter scale.
I already posted but the past few weeks have brought some updates to my same bass collection. Here's all my Spectors.
the mikro family - my stock green mikro, the black 4 string with fender true vintage jazz pickups, and the newest member, the 5 string.
Not necessarily the same style, but same manufacturer basses, and a pair of bouzoukia (plural of bouzouki). Forgive me if that's out of the scope of your question.
I absolutely love Carlo Robelli basses. I've had two (the one with hot rod flames, and the 8-string) for about 15 years. I've gigged both of them, and recorded with the one with flames. They're excellent basses. Over the last 3 months or so, I decided to expand my Robelli collection, so I picked up a fretless, a 5-string, and an acoustic electric. I haven't been disappointed with their sound, and feel.
Next, I've had an Oscar Schmidt acoustic electric that I have enjoyed for the last 25 years.
I had been wanting a hollow body bass for a while and about 3 or so years ago, this NOS Oscar Schmidt hollow body with gig bag popped up on ebay for a good price. I didn't even know Oscar Schmidt made a hollow body bass. Given how much I like the acoustic electric, I decided to buy it. I'm glad I did because I'm quite happy with it. It plays and sounds well, and I really like the color.
Next, I have these two Harley Benton basses that I bought when I lived in Greece. One is their P-bass kit that I modified and built in homage to the Ampeg scroll bass. I added a few bits too, like the ashtray, and 3-string keeper on the headstock. Believe it, or not, the stock pickups and electronics sound quite good! I've gigged with it, and lent it to a friend for gigging, and it held its own quite easily.
Then there is my Harley Benton EUB. I've done quite a bit of modifications to it which were quite fun to do, and have made it feel and sound excellent. I can say that I absolutely love it. It just feels, and sounds so good!
Finally (I know it's not bass related, but I couldn't resist), I am learning how to play Greek bouzouki, so have recently purchased these two made by the bouzouki builder Vamvakas, from Athens, Greece (his workshop is actuall only about 20 minutes from where I used to live).
Initially, I bought the red one. It is a higher end, low priced model (about $750 with hard case). It's got a really full, and sweet sound.
I then decided to take the plunge and buy a high end model (about $3300 with hard case)and bought the black one because why not? You only live once. And I'm a sucker for inlaid fretboards.
As good as the red one sounds, this one has an even deeper, richer tone, and tons of sustain. I'm really glad I bought it.

Fantastic picture!I take every chance i get to show this picture
My seven Vantage Vp710B's.
Its the result of buying the ones i find that are in better condition than the ones i have, and then not selling the old ones.

Three SR basses l-r: 300E, 2600 and 600E.
Idk if two pieces can be considered a collection, but still..
I'm cheating a little bit : I sold the black one 2 weeks ago

Nice basses - I recently built this active J up and redefined the Fender-esk hs which looks similar to yours. I based it on a vintage Harmony guitar.
Well, my SG/EB shaped collection used to be bigger until a few months ago, now I'm left with these girls:
L to R: '69 Gibson EB-0 (modded), '76 Guild JS-2, '69 Gibson EB-3.
And a couple of these...
a '70 Gibson Les Paul Bass on the left, and a '72 Les Paul Triumph Bass on the right.
No, this is not a Hipshot commercial, in case anyone was wondering...

Most of the 9 or 10 basses I own are as different as chalk from cheese, so this pair are the closest thing to siblings I have...
Modulus Graphite Quantum 6-string basses: the cocobola one on the left is a 1988 Quantum-6 SPX (bolt-on neck), the black one on the right is a 1996 Quantum-6 TBX (neck-thru body)
And they're still practically chalk and cheese!

J and P basses, of some variety.
