Oh and I forgot the jewel of them all.

Taylor Bass AB3. Last one Taylor had! And when I say last one they had, I mean it. Bob Borbonus Gave me the Last Taylor Bass, Taylor had in their office in San Diego and He also gave me a Custom Jumbo body acoustic that was made for John Rzeznik but he decided to go with Gibson instead.

The trade off was making my lead singer play a prototype T5 over his Acoustic/electric Gibson he was currently playing.

He wouldn't do it. So I just kept all 3. I sure miss Bob. If any of you guys know him, You know he was the best. I still get my Christmas card from Taylor every year signed by some people I've never heard of and I haven't made anything as far as music goes in almost 10 years. Taylor folks in general rock

A Lado Medallion from the mid 80s (or so I was told). I had to replace the P pickup because the treble side was dead, but it sounds and plays great. It's my only bass, other than one I'm building.

Vaguely Spector-ish? I was not familiar with this model - very cool!

Spectorish, and Warwick Streamer-ish.

I just got it a few weeks ago. It has a ton of playwear and was a little beat up, but after wet-sanding, buffing, and polishing, it looks a lot better. Fortunately the frets are barely worn at all.

Here's one I'm currently building:

Wanted to get around to this for a long time - Pulling every one out of it's case for a family photo

I knew there will come a day when ill lay my hands on one of these beauties plays like butter and sounds like an old P should. Very underrated instruments.

Great tokai hardpuncher! Yes, they are great! I also have a hardpuncher.

This is my hardpuncher. Great bass! I have replaced the pickup by an original fender pickup from 1965.

I play my Yamaha TRBX174EW in my SKA band and it sounds great for such an inexpensive bass. (Sorry about the cajon it's the only picture I had) This is my first post so I'm not sure if I did the picture correctly.

My latest bass. Fender 1978 Precision bass.
This is my first bass with an ashtray over the pickup. It makes playing with a pick very difficult.

Here are my current basses, sorry about the photo.

The pickguard on the right makes that the only jazz I ever wanted.
