A Kubicki Factor neck that just so happened to fit that body?
How do you like that Xotic?
Wow, those Sereks. I've been looking on them quite often lately.. But I am not a collector - intentionally have only one bass. Anyway, tell me something about the 5 string - are those MFD pickups and L-2000 electronics? How does it play with medium scale? How would you compare it with actual L-2500 (I mean the B string)? Probably never seen such a specific electronics put in completely different instrument..I have two red Sereks. Not sure if that counts as a collection, but I'm working on getting all of my basses in red.

Those Carl Thompsons are amazing! The only other people I know of with multiples of those basses are Les Claypool, Anthony Jackson, and Carl Thompson himself.My small collections...Carl Thompson, Squier, G&L

Better late than never!!! Some would call it fashionably late. I say perfect timing.

I’d love to hear these in action.RondoMusic Hadean violin/Hofner style 21" scale bass uke that I had Eric's Guitar replace the floating piezo bridge with a fully adjustable metal bridge that has a piezo pickup in each saddle, Kala/Galli flatwound nylon core strings, painted by Pat Wilkins.

Sparkles!!!!Thanks. It’s wearing black now. And I do have the tone control option, so a little more of a traditional setup.

How in the world do you maintain this size of a collection ? Do they all get regular playing time?Next, Jazz basses. Fender -w/rounds, flats, fretless, CS, etc.- and FSO's.
