Got her second plastic surgery in Jan 2009 when I took off this black guard off of my old midnight wine Jazz:

Just got some more work done last week:

 

[Hugh Jass]

Finally took some decent pictures.

2007 Blonde G&L L2000

If you look close you can see the grain of the swamp ash through the finish.

 

[BassAgent]

Wow, the white/maple combination is awesome!

Hello, I'll introduce myself, or at least my current basses. As you can see, I AM a bassist, not a photographer.

My current main tool, Amfisound Custom:

Another Amfisound Custom:

Gibson Victory Standard 1982:

Squier Precision Vintage Modified:

Wolf WTHB S-4:

Ibanez Roadster RS-900 1980:

Does anyone know where I can get a Lynott-style mirror pickguard for that?

OLP SB-5:

I really like the neck on OLP and actually sent that to Amfisound to be copied for the customs!

Warwick Corvette Standard 5:

Warwick used to be my main bass before I got my first Amfisound.

I'll gladly answer any questions, especially concerning the Amfisound basses. The others are quite common, I'd think.

Lovely basses dude.

You'll have to have it custom made, and as it has no pickguard as standard, you'll have to draw up a design yourself.

WD Music, Pickguardian, Jeannies Pickguards should all be able to help you.

My current main tool, Amfisound Custom:

Ibanez Roadster RS-900 1980:

That Rick-a-like amfisound is quite beautiful.
And did you win that Roadster on ebay uk recently, cos I think i was bidding against you on that one, definitely saw one like it and really wanted it.
beautiful collection.

That actually is from an auction but already from a few years back, so it wasn't me who you were bidding against.

Well, I kinda know that. I was just hoping that maybe someone here has already done that...

Warwick Dolphin Pro I. Boire body, 7-stripe wenge/zebrano neck. Active MEC. Built '91, bought it new in '95. Road worn by me . Glass clear sound. Unbelievable variations. Best bass for tapping I ever played, sound and play wise, although I'm really not a specialist in it. Only reason to give it away would be to exchange it for a 5 string with same specs. PM me if you're unhappy with your fiver . The lack of a B string is the only reason I don't play it as often as the other basses.

Marleaux Consat Custom 5. Mahogany body, myrtle top, Active Bartolinis. Bought new in '97. Strongest B string of all my basses. Warm and deep sound with crisp highs. Badass dirty when hit a bit harder which I love. Replaced the Dolphin as main bass for having a B string Both Marleauxs can be played very fast. They have an extremely low action

Marleaux Consat Custom 5. All maple, active Delanos. Bought new in 2005. Badass mid dominant, for all those jazzy bridge pickup sounds. They called it "The Killer" in the shop and you know why when you hear it for the first time. Great sound for soloes. Funny thing, it looks better from the rear
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed][Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Sadowsky NYC Vintage 5. Swamp Ash, singles. Not the strongest b string it really matters what strings you put on. Best with Cleartone which are a bit sharp, followed by Sadowsky Blue Lable Nickels. Has that Jazz Bass sound which I can't get from the other basses. Awesome metallic slap sound. The only bass that I can play in my quite large reggae band 'cause it perfectly mixes itself, stays out of the way of the other instruments and shakes the earth with deeeeeep lows but well I guess you know
My main bass on stage and for studio works at the moment although I love and play all of them.

Excuse the patchwork background. It was the blackest blacks I could find.

Not quite. For one thing, it still looks like a jazz bass.
