Love your work. And that NS6 sounds incredible with the EMG's. You make it sing.

Quilted maple looks best dyed blue - like water in a swimming pool.
Thanks a lot bro!
!The cream-white Lakland just Jumped off the couch at me!
such clean lines!
Where did the Beatle Bass come from?
The next time my wife hints that that the two basses I have are too many Imma show her this picture and inform her that I am giving consideration to her challenge.
Oh Sh*t !, LOL. I don't want to be the cause of any marital strife. That being said, my EX-wife hated my bass collection and it was at least 3 or 4 short of what it is now. My GF on the other hand, seems to feed my habit. She's responsible for at least 3 of those and we've only been together for 4 years. I'm a very lucky guy

The Lakland I got from my Ex wife, 10th anniv I believe. Had it for 20+ years at this point. Late 90s model. Was going to sell it, but it doesn't remind me of her really...so, F-it. That bass, the Valenti, and the 2 Sandbergs are my main gig whores. The Beatle bass is a recent import Hofner, not the real deal German kind. I got that on local craigslist for 200. Mainly because of Sir Paul and I thought it would look good hanging in our den. LOL

Yup!
Mine says ‘Hofner’ on the headstock, which is cool, but it’s actually an Icon Series…read Chinese-made.
Cheap, Cheap…
$250 at a local (GA)pawn shop about 10 yrs ago.
Changed out the tuning pegs immediately.
It makes sounds that none of the other members of the flock make…and it surely is ‘iconic’.

that's see thru blond btw, ash. the birdseye on the fretboard is badass too
Here's a shot of the back!
Whatever happens just remember; your basses will never ruin your life
and make you regret ever having ever met them...
Just for reference…
2 ‘violin shaped’ basses…
The Hofner Icon, & my 1970 Univox copy of Gibson’s EB-1.
There weren’t enough lawns to mow, and driveways to shovel to Ever afford a Gibson!

All kidding aside my wife is very supportive of my bass playing and the band I play in. She doe occasionally raise an eyebrow when I tell her of an intended gear purchase but the ribbing is all in good-nature. Mrs. Jugghead is, after all, a saint for having married me in the first place.

Also blessed with a very understanding spouse. She's quite aware of my addiction on condition we take a nice vacation before the next acquisition. The funds are there- I have no excuse atp.

Wow! When I win the lottery I plan to build a pointy bass collection. You, Sir, beat me to it!
