my line-up at the moment, except for my Ibanez ATK 405, being currently at the custom shop to be build into an Fanned-Fret like my 5-String jazz below

my latest one: a fantastic Fanned-Fret Fivestring-Jazz from Stevens Custom Guitars. Awesome, that's all i can say about this one

the old guy: a 69 Jazz, alder Body, maple Neck with rosewood fingerboard, strung with flats. Unfortunately the original neck was spoiled by the pre-owner so i had to install a replacement, but it works perfect. I also replaced the Bridge for easy string-changing. This one has a killer Tone, my #1 for Recording

the blonde: Also build by Stevens Custom Guitars, same Neck as above but an ash-Body an PU's from am 1970's Ibanez Black Eagle Bass. A funk machine

the modern one: A Human Base BaseX, all maple with ebony-Fingerboard, Bartolini-Soaps and aktive-EQ. My first "good" Bass i bought in the 90's, very hifi-sounding.

my fretless: A modified Human Base Jonas, all maple with ebony-Fingerboard, neck through body Design. Known as one of the best sounding Fretless Basses by German luthier Siggi Jäger. Never played a fretless to come close to this one.

Me Likey! Cool basses, cool photography.

Here's one of my favorites!

Here are my current 2 main basses, a Tobias Toby Pro 6 and a Tsai. Both play very well, the Tsai I just bought 2nd hand and it took like 6 or 7 hours of work (mostly fretwork). Electronics in both are stock, pretty basic.

Just recently Croatian custom builder built this beauty for me!

Swamp ash body, bookmatched flamed maple AAA top and the back on the body and on the head.
Ebony fingerboard and of course seven piece (35") wenge+maple neck. Bartolini pick-ups and glockenklang electronics.
This thing is a beast and it weights slightly under 4kg because it has hollowed/chambered body with WPS (wreck pyramid system)!

Here are the pictures!

Wow! So many awesome instruments here! I don't have a real collection but here they are.

Jackson 5 string w/ crack in the top. Still plays okay. Passive elect. Recently acquired Conklin 7 string, restrung for low F# - C. Cort Curbow 6 string. Surprised I haven't seen any Curbows on these pages.

I take this one out when I am in a strange mood. 70's Guild JS-II

Next is my 1964 Mosrite. Currently being restored.

New to me is this 1996 Fernandes Jazz copy. Kinda nice for a cheapie.

Missing are pics or my 1985 Schecter P/J and EBMM Sterling SUB.
