It's been over a decade since I did a family shot so here goes.

Left to Right
-Wendler Electrocoustic 35" Fretless
-Carlo (Custom 4-94 style by Carl Pedigo) 35"
-Franken Jazz with LDB 35" neck and maple pickguard.
-1979 T'40
-MIM P-bass. Everything but the body and neck is modded.
-Darkstarred Frankenbass with T-40 neck
-Ibanez Artcore with Jack Cassady pup and guts.
-Hadean 24" Uke bass.

Despite having quite a few instruments this represents something of a downsize in the number of basses owned. There's almost nothing redundant here, though in the spirit of reduction I may someday get rid of the Artcore which -with the Jack Cassady setup- is a fantastic bass, but nowdays when I want a hollow-ish or upright'ish sound I find myself reaching for the Wendler.

Just wondered as the body is not as cavernous as a JC. I have the AGB 140, 200, 205 and AFB 200. Kinda wish Ibby made the 200 series in a long scale since the ASB 140 (dbl cutaway) is also one PUP in long scale and the ASB 180 (also dbl cutaway) is 2 PUPs but short scale.

Wow you're quite the fan of the artcores! I did find it a bit sad that they haven't made a single long scale artcore since the original two that were released. The combination does result in a rather long reach though that might have turned some off.

The one I really have G.A.S. for is this one:

agb200.jpg


...It is Ivory color with a darker binding. Japan Market only, it is not the white one that was sold in the states for a year or so. Saw it on Ebay and I let it go. Kicking myself ever since.

was looking for an uncommon buy on an instrument..just purchased a Keith Brawley bass guitar from the original owner on craigslist..the model is called "Artemis"..seller (64 years of age) was asking $175 but accepted my offer of $140..mine is dated august 2002 and had a production number of 633..wikipedia says that Brawley bass guitars sold from $550 to $1200..owner said he paid $700 for this one new although he said there was an $800 price tag on it..its a neck thru bass..4 string 35 inch scale..has a battery compartment..5 control knobs..volume..pickup blend..bass..mid..treble..soap bar custom humbucker pickups..active only..these instruments were only made from 2001 - 2003..with a limited production..the body is Louisiana swamp ash with a Canadian maple neck and Indian rosewood fretboard....Japanese frets made from German alloy..24 frets..designed in the USA and built in Korea..tobacco sunburst finish with a flame maple top..beautiful wood grain..came with a gig bag that was in rough shape..but the instrument is in absolutely mint condition..no scratches..no marks..no dings..high gloss finish..straight true neck with low action..absolutely no fret wear..looks barely played and handled..owner has had the bass since new..still had the inspection tag on the back cover plate for the electronics..so nice to get this rare premium condition instrument..was just wondering what others think about a Keith Brawley bass..?..many have never even heard of these..

View attachment 2868380 I love my Fender 70's Reissue P bass. It's customized with a 60's style Fender Custom Shop neck, EMG GZR pickup, Fender Geddy Lee signature Badass style bridge and Hipshot ultra lite tuners.
Best bass I've ever had!

Nice choices and work you've done there. I was wondering what the nut width is on the CS neck ???
Thanks
Eddie
