Reminds me of a Facebook pic where some fat bloke is taking the whole pic up :).

Here's my current lot (until later on today when the Yamaha gets shipped off)

Left to right:
Yamaha BB300
Shine SB35 (surprisingly good for the very little I got it for)
Westone Thunder IA - my main bass and the one I'll keep forever :)
Ibanez St940 - the new favourite!

All cheap as chips but I love 'em anyway.

Yeah :) bloody upright. The day I bought it my wife got home took one step in the living room and said "What the f*** have you done". It takes up about half the room, every now and then I think about selling it, and then pick up some gigs (largely because I own an upright rahter than for my ham fisted attmepts at playing it!)

I couldn't resist a little shot of my basses (as it stands now). Technically it's a futon not a settee, but I'm hoping nobody will mind :)

L-R: CS Pino, Sadowsky NYC and Road Worn Jazz. I hate having 3 basses but they are all so nice I find it impossible to choose. The Pino and the Road Worn give me all that I need, but the Sadowsky is a total luxury that I'd be terrified to sell only to regret it forever.

Lovely collection. Is that a new Pino or your old one back?

David, that's an immense collection. I need to book you into a teleconference with my wife. The topic: basses as a a sensible investment choice in these troubled times.[/quote]

Thank you,

Lol TBH thats what they are for, its a pension plan and tax write off plan. When I retire they bar, about 5 will be all sold off.

Yeah, and I imagine they'll be worth a pretty penny under any prices. I sent a PM admiringly about the pointy Overwater. Never seen one before, very impressed - [i]edited: just spotted your reply on the other thread, so I'm off Googling![/i]

Hey man; I really like the look myself too. I heard Fender is dropping my Olympic White/Maple from the Am. Std. Series. Snagged this one new, just as they hung it on the wall. It has an almost Hendrix look to it. I know, dream on.
