Yeah I had to pay a little more also than he paid - but I am OK with that - she is coming home.
I'm sure my hondo fame bass master is long gone... That thing came with a khaler tremolo. I've never broken so many strings...
New bass week = an excuse to post an updated group pic.
Is that one of those new-fangled piccolo six-string basses on the end?
Haha - it's my son's amazing Stratocaster, AKA "Doom."
All remaining parts for the build have been ordered. Will update later.
That is a great looking set of basses. And that Strat is super-hot! Burgundy Mist?
Thank you. Yes, my son's super-hot Strat is Burgundy Mist. It sounds and plays even better than ot looks, and it's rarely out of his hands.
Awesome stable. I dig the finish on the Stingray. Just got a Jazz bass with that finis Kinda hard to tell in the pics, but it's white blonde:

Your Jazz looks fantastic. Congratulations.
I'm a big fan of the Trans White/Mary Kay finish. My Ray was one of the first 5 Classic Stingrays made for the launch at Bass Player Live in 2009 and Winter NAMM 2010. It's a Classic Deluxe Stingray 4 and the only one in that color ever made or that ever will be made according to Musicman. I saw a teaser post on the Ernie Ball Forum before BPL and committed to it. Sterling Ball played it at the launch Roundtable with Tony Levin and a few other great players. They shipped it to me right after NAMM through GC, and I have been enjoying the heck out of it ever since. I hope you get as much from yours.
Those are all beauties. The rigs too. But I gotta admit, that Jurassic Park pooch kennel is great and I don't even have a dog.
Ohhh blessed baby Jeebus that is cool! Im imagining it (i.e. coveting) it with my white blonde AVRI 58 Precision on a stand right now. So cool.
Thanks! There's a bit of a backstory on this one:
NBD - '99 American Standard Jazz
And I would love to have a white blonde AVRI Precision to go with it!
