In order of acquisition.
1) 69 Jazz Bass in sunburst. My one and only instrument from 1976 til 2004(?)
2) Wishbass Scroll 4 string fretless made for me.
3) Wishbass Standard Spaulted Holly top 4 string fretless new off ebay.
4) MIM Tele, year unknown.
5) Frankenstrat, Fender body, Fernandes neck, with Alembic pups and electronics.
6) 96 Epic 4 string, well played by the previous owner, and absolutely spectacular.
7) Line 6 variax 4 string bass
Hohner BBass V. I have since modified it with active EMG's, a bone nut, and a Schaller bridge to take the string spacing from 16mm to 17mm. It has turned into a very nice player, and my only 5 string.
9) Custom Viola 4 string bass, body by Unorthodox Guitars and neck by USA Custom Guitars, with EMG electronics.
10) Wishbass Purpleheart Scarab 4 string fretless made for me.
11) Wishbass Cherry Peanut 4 string fretless, ser #88, used of ebay.
12) Wishbass Purpleheart Hyper 4 string fretless, new off ebay.
Yes I like Wishbasses. Except for the guitars and the Line 6, I play them all, equally, ALL the time. The Line 6 is actually lots of fun to play, it's just a little heavy for jams.
I am turning 50 next February, and I recently have become enamored with the Music Man Stingray that is one of the Ball family reserve, with a flame redwood top. Georgeous. But I have never played a stingray, and at $2600, I could get a pretty nice Alembic. Hmmmmmmmm.
