Current collection:
6133FBE6-EDC6-4BC9-A922-F6701CDE8530.jpg

Fender Jazz from '66. Original except for the finish and a few screws.

De Gier Bebop 5. The only Bebop with dots+binding AFAIK :)

Blade B2 Tetra Bass, upgraded with Nordstrand NJ4 pickups and an Aguilar OBP-1 preamp.

IMG_1218.jpg

Fender Standard Jazz Bass fretless. Pickups replaced with pickups that were sold to me as Custom Shop 60's pickups. They're not. They're not even Fenders. But the bass sounds absolutely amazing.

Gretsch G5442 BDC. Great.

Eko BA4 from '87. Got it for less than $100, but it sounds waaaaay better and louder than expected. Fantastic bass!

Maya Electric Bass from '77 (approx). Use that for gigs where beer might be thrown ;)

Yamaha BB N5II. Got it for sentimental reasons.
 
Oh, right! Here they are:

Epiphone Dot Cherry from 2001. Pretty decent guitar with a HUGE output.

LAG 4S400D. Kinda cheap but it was better than an Eastman and Blueridge I tested :) I love this baby!

Got a Guild M-120 Cherry on order BTW.

And I forgot this!

Warwick Triumph from approx. '82. Used to be a 5-string but the previous owner modded it.
 
Here's what I have with me in my new place in Chamonix, France. Drove back to London last week and picked up what I could. Nice to have the full pedalboard though as it's been a while since I could play my Musitronics effects due to the hassle of having to bring a 220/110 transformer.

The second is a picture of my new music room. Never has enough space in London to really keep things set up. It's a dream to be able to do it.

Left to right

1975 Fender precision, Fender road worn jazz with Fralin pickups and refinished in sonic blue with a very light relic, 1972 Ampeg SVT with a Barefaced '69er and a 1972 Fender Jazz
