Beautiful collection, but too bad about the Gibson.
Can't all be perfect. :D

I especially love your T-40s.
If only I could find one, I've only ever seen one, in white. Great instruments, those Peaveys.
.....Can't afford them.
Luckily I found a cousin, of the treble variety, the T-25 Special.
All of 75 bucks.

That Lorenzo is a new one for me, but I like the look.
P-like but still very unique.

All the basses seem to have about the same sound, but that could have as much to do with youtube streaming. It really does eliminate all the bottom end.
Personal opinion try playing less notes and more melodically. Between you changing keys, fast runs up and down the neck, no real bass line and different playing styles its kind of hard to listen to. 1) it makes you sound nervous, 2) makes you sound like you're bored with your own playing. 3) Makes all the basses sound the same.
If I had to pick one bass I'd go with the Lorenzo.

Fine...
I've looked for your videos... I didn't find any !!!
I'm sure I'd learn a lot if you give me a sample of your own sound clips... Would you be so kind as to give me a link ?

That`s an impressive collection. Congratulations.

Never saw a Lorenzo bass before. I`ve been in touch with him till last year. I regularly sent him my basses for setup and always told me nice stories about "pseudo" luthiers, his past with the Symphonic Orchestra and old Gibson SG copies he used to build.

He`s in his seventies now and Parkinson is keep him away from building. A great guy.

Hi

Are you for Buenos Aires or you were just passing by ???
I was born in Buenos Aires and I've owned a Lorenzo bass when I was young... I souldn't have sold it.. It wa a great bass... By the end of 2007, a friend of mine found another Lorenzo bass and bought it for me... It wasn't in an exellent condition but my Luthier in Geneva managed to do a great job on it... Ahora tengo un bajo de la "Puta Madre" !!!!!

I went to Buenos Aires a year ago and visited Lorenzo.. we spend a whole afternoon in a bar... telling old stories and laughlin a lot.... I was sad about his parkinson illness !!!
I'm in touch with his son "Cahchi" and he handed me a lot of old pictures of Lorenzo ... Hes preparing a TV show about his father !!!!

Best Regards
