This one is taken in my living room. Although I prefer pictures taken in the garden (good old fashioned daylight), that'll have to wait until I've got some extra guitar stands...

From left to right:

- 1999 Orion
- 1991 EVH Signature
- 1988 Elan
- 1980 Series I

Wifred: Very nice family...they're quite photogenic!

That's a very versatile collection Wilfred. I'm always surprised seeing those Elan's, they DO have a very attractive and graceful shape!!
And granny ...well she looks damn sexy laying down before the rest!

Very nice collection, and as usual, I'm jealous!

Don't be jealous ...he can only play at one at the time. When he starts playing at them all 4 the same time ...well ...THAN you may be jealous!!! LOL

BTW: there is a picture somewhere of EVH playing 3 basses at the same time. Tapping one left handed, tapping one right handed and bumping the groove with his right foot out of a third one standing on a stand beside him.
That's the farest he got!

Wilfred: As always, I love seeing the unusual figuring on your Orion. Its great to see the rest of the family, too. I'll bet you wish you could play more than one at a time!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the positive comments! Well, as soon as I'm able to play more than one bass at the same time, I'll definitely let y'all know. Just don't hold your breath waiting for that moment! ;-)

BTW: Paul TBO, 'granny' wants me to let you know she isn't too pleased with that nickname. And come to think of it, being 4 years older than her, neither am I! Hmmm, but wait, what does that make........... YOU?

Wilfred the Grandfather :-D

Paul, especially for you (and because I'm so happy with her) a close-up of my latest addition:

I can only agree with you about those elegant lines...

Beautiful collection. It's nice to have choices, isn't it?

Thanks Jeff, it certainly is!

Man oh man! If I was a termite I'd be thinking, Four course meal at a five star restaurant! The Elan has to be desert! Tasty collection there, Wilfred!

Hmmm! How about this for an advertising slogan, The Alembic Elan, a fine after-dinner desert bass.

Reid, my twisted mind (or is it just a weird sense of humour?) likes that! I can just see a highly exaggerated cartoon termite having a bite at one of those horns! Yummie, yummie, yummie, I've got ALEMBIC in my tummy, crunch, crunch...

Excellent grouping. A lot of goodies there, my friend. Nice photography, too.

Peace,

Beautiful collection! It becomes an obsession in some cases. Enjoy them for years to come.
