They share a strap, & a Snark.

The beauty on the left came from WePawn, about a decade ago...($65)

The Mikro came to live with us last Spring. It can make some sounds none of my other bass guitars can make.

Is that a giant jingle-stick using bottle caps in the background?

It’s called a ‘lagerphone’.

’lager’ as in beer bottle caps...’phone’ as in...you know, phones before they were really cameras and computers.

It’s an Aussie thing.

I saw and heard one over there, and came home and built my own out of a broomstick and a bit of baseboard...and a splash of paint.

It raises hell!

Good eye!
Thanks for asking!

Bottom line - this is what it is all about. Regardless of brand or perceived "worth" based on cost... a bass (any bass) can make some sounds none of (my) other bass guitars can make. Cut through to the essence - and make your bass (whatever it is) sing.

I added to my collection this past week, they're at the bottom of list. I'm up to 28 now (I re-homed one).

I let go of some basses this week and added some. I added a new Fender Professional P bass with a Rosewood board and a Fender Ultra Jazz with the Texas Tea paint job!
Both are great basses!

I really dig the Ultra Jazz with the Texas Tea finish.

And, I have a framed Star Wars poster in my music room as well.

I really dig Everything about it...down to the painting of the Flying V, and the sea foam green curly cord...

I know for a Fact that neither of my amps has Ever been that clean.

I have medical problems that keep myself and my gear at home most of the time. All the gear keeps me motivated to play.

^^^Well, it’s real good to see you showing respect for your Stuff.
These are our tools of the trade, but IMHO, each is a work of Art as well.

I sit up straight when I read the word ‘MESA’...

...feel like typing about the last two on the right...the Brian May-looking guitar on the same wall...the two on the floor?

That’s a Great yellow finish!

I'm surprised to find I've never posted in this thread. I lack the great collections that some of you have, but I do have one truly wonderful bass, which is all I really need (and I do have a couple of backups).
@scottyd beautiful stuff, man. I hope your health allows you to play and enjoy them.

I really need to take some good pictures of my lovely Zon, but these will have to suffice.
