[Stub Mandrel]

Now I have a decent sofa again, I need to do a new pic (or set of pics 😬)

You could start a “CDs behind the settee” thread with that collection!

Time for an update to this great thread

 

These are my basses on the settee:

 

Sterling by Musicman Ray34  (most likely be sold next week).

Spector Rebop 5

Lakland Skyline 44-02 (most recent addition)

Hamer Chaparral

Squier James Johnston Signature Jazz Bass

Blade B3 (restored after being broken to bits)

Tokai Hardpuncher VSB40 ltd. Ed.

New Settee, probably got enough space to add to the family now.

My house is too small.

Here is most of the family. Missing are my Washburn AB34, Stagg Upright and an old Aria fretless. I have five six strings and a Fender pedal steel but they don't count as we all know "It's all about the bass"!

Nice collection!

That Ibanez EDB looks great in that finish! First time i see one like that!

I call this piece…”with problems like this; who needs solutions…”

That must be the most famous bass on Basschat out front

Looks like a problem only the Gordon Smith can fix…

Been a while since I posted on this, done a bit of downsizing and now down to 2 standards and 2 shorties. I’m satisfied….for the moment 🤣

Only one left now, but couldn’t be happier.

Wish I had your will power Chris.  But you know, deep down, you want a Sandberg Lionel 😉

So... about time I got my lot done. The Hohner B2 that lives with my partner needed some tlc - loose ground wire, loose jack and two loose pots (all down to me rushing reassembly after a refin).

 

So, how do I sort them into logical groups? I've tried... enjoy!

 

The little ones. Headless and short scale.

 

Hohner B2 (my second bass).

Hohner Professional Jack Custom V (name longer than the bass!)

Kay (not Teisco) Tulip.

Squier Jaguar Short Scale.

 

The Jazz(ish).

Squire Standard Jazz (2002, fitted with mutes).

Fender Flea Signature Jazz.

Fender Performer (intended succesor for the Jazz).

Sire Marcus Miller P10 (Precision shape but feels and sounds like a Jazz).

 

The Precisions

Harley Benton kit bass with Squier neck (it came with the fake decal. Moster sound and plays well!)

Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision.

Squier 40th Anniversary Precision.

Maya Fretless Electric Bass.

 

The Odd Bunch

Harley Benton MB5 (Warman pickup and 5-way rotary selector).

Deathburger (my bits, the HB kit neck, Wilinson hardware and quilted maple body from an unfinished blank).

Harley Benton Marquess 5, active.

 

The Omnium Gatherum

Tanglewood Acoustic bass (Labella nylon tapewounds and aftermarket cheap piezo system).

Epiphone Embassy.

Westone Thunder 1.

Yo Stubs,

 

A more than impressive collection there. Might I bother you for your thoughts/impressions regards the 60's Fender P? Quite fancy one of those and would value your opinion.

 

Best

I’m just weighing up how to do an updated photo…don’t think I’ve got enough couch real estate…
