Vanity indeed! These are all homemade.

I *love* that upright V. Put a huge smile on my face for sure...

Thanks! It’s a blast to play!

I had the same reaction as @ajkula66 when I first saw that thing! I like how it's way bigger than that floor lamp behind it.

After my heart issues in 2019 left me with some kinda severe limitations, I began a heavy thinning process … this is what’s left after a 2 year sell-off. I still have to move out 1 of the DBs and the Brice 5, but keeping the rest. In truth, the only bass that gets gigged (now that gigs are finally back) is the Breedlove acoustic, the rest are decor. But I’m thrilled I found a way to keep on playing, and this Breedlove is really quite the bass

Funny that you mention it. I guy I'm FB friends with in France liked it so much he built one almost just like it, sans guard. Turned out good as best I can tell. Mine plays magically, cant speak to his but here is a picture of his clone.View attachment 4318413

Badass bridge di Marzio pups by the looks of it?
It'll sound good.

I think it's the "mustache" that does it for me. ;-)

there is no truss rod in those Vigiers but somehow they remain perfectly set with any string set .

I read about this somewhere but now I forget how they do that, if its steel reinforced or composite core or something...

I would totally rock that on a jazz gig. It would be the talk of the night, guaranteed.

just that chunk of graphite in a one piece Maple neck .

Yep, most people see that. That's why my wife taped guitar picks onto it for "eyes".

yeah, just comin back to post that it ain't no skunk stripe on the back... That is a solid beam of composite/graphite

 

[Gougedeye]

Why? Why did you do this? Just makes my GAS flare up...

 

[fretno]

Indeed

Show em if you got em

This might sound odd... but I'm more impressed that you have room to have 12 stands. You're either single or married to a saint.

Does my profile pic count?

I’m waiting for a Fender mod shop jazz bass and G&L option order ASAT bass to arrive before I take a better picture
