My family portrait

Wanted to share my family portrait as of today, 5-17-26!

The EBMM Sterling has been in my life the longest - I picked it up in the late 90s. The Schecter Ultra is what I use in my current gig in a Cure Tribute band. The rest have just accumulated over the years! Not pictured: my upright named Rufus. The Mustang may be on the way out - it is a fun bass but I rarely reach for it!

I like the Schecter's tattoo. How about a pic of said Cure tribute band in action?
Thanks for asking! The band is KM3 (Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me) out of Portland OR. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me - Photos

I don't exactly have the Simon Gallup look, but Robert makes up for it!

Out of all of the bases I have ever owned, the Schecter is one of my favorite. It plays and sounds amazing - and the sustain is unreal. Glad I had a reason to check them out! The only issue with Schecter is that they don't sell replacement parts - sourcing the black pick guard was rough!

I modeled this one based off of Simon's original Schecter signature model. Obviously, I need to add some more tattoos!

I always thought those Hamer basses were cool.
