This is the bass I picked up in Paris a little over ten years ago. I suppose if I really had to sell all but one bass, this would be the keeper because it's very mine, even if it's not my main bass (my P-Bass is).

Anyway, I love it. Very woody sounding (not Jaco-esque). Check out that bridge. I normally don't particularly care for Bartolini pickups, but that's what's in there and they're great for this bass.

It's a bolt on, but the neck is set really deep and it's very tight. The body is bubinga, the neck is maple, the board is ebony. I have no idea what the pickup covers and bridge are made of.

It's 1985 or 1986, just post-lawsuit. It's called an APB-'57. It's a '57 reissue. It plays great. I've got a Duncan Antiquities II in there.

The middle bass is a 1995 Ovation Viper Bass A/E. I think they are pretty rare, especially for $2000 at the time.

I posted in the Part 1 of this thread, but I still don't know anyone with my Dillion bass:

Brian May would be proud

Thanks! I'm not a big fan of fancy basses. This one is understated and tasteful, IMO.

Try.. Greco jazz bass. i want to know if there is anyone here has the same bass i want to know more about this bass.

comparing it to my US jazz i had this one is far better

That looks exactly like a bass I used to have back in the late '70s/early '80s, down to the pickups and everything. But mine had the name "Orlando" on it rather than "Greco."

I don't know any more about these, but I'd bet money they came out of the same factory.

And here it is parked next to my Burns short-scale 6-string (my main bass with this band)

I am a Dillion lover, and that is a VBMB-04 ( Brian May bass interpretation ), just in case lunarpollen takes 3 days to answer your question... I don't know what year his particular one is.

Greg Curbow was certainly a Master Builder. He was one of my close friends and I miss him dearly. I was honered to make it to the funeral. I can't belive he is gone.

Don't know if anyone here has this one in this color. If you do, stand up and be counted.

BEAUTIFUL AND :

the back wood looks like there is a silhouette of Jesus in the grain --now not only is it a one of a kind, but it just jumped in value to 500,000 dollars.

( remember the EBAY cheese sandwich with burn marks that looked like Jesus that fetched an outrageous amount of money)?

I know a few TB guys have a Gibson Ripper, but this one has a somewhat rare finish, I believe. I bought it in '74 or '75. Everything is stock except for the cheesy thumb rest I added. I removed the bridge cover. The pix were only taken weeks ago.
