the_mule,
Is your 1980 Series I a short-scale? I'm looking for a short-scale. Here's mine (76-265)...

I saw a picture in Bass Player several years ago of Michael Manring playing 3 basses. He was hitting open-string root notes on one that was held by another person. He was tapping notes on one held by someone. He was playing a strapped on bass regular style.

You can watch Michael Manring play three basses on the bass day 98 video its well worth a look he does a great version of teen town as well

Very nice basses wilfred! I still cant get over that grafted walnut, it's beautiful.
BTW... Manring actually plays four basses at one time on the Bass Day 98 video... my mouth gapes everytime i see it, and it made me buy a Hyperbass.

Well, things have changed since I started this thread. I went from 4 to 2 Alembics. The Series I has found a new owner through EVH's shop and fellow Dutch member Just will be enjoying the Elan very soon now. My G.A.S.-budget has been building up and I actually intend to purchase a new non-Alembic friend for my Orion and EVH, but I'm afraid it's too early to tell you more right now...

Very curious to see what your new bass is going to be Wilfred. I just hope it's not a Fender P.

Brett, a little teaser only showing a small but beautiful detail of the non-Alembic bass that will become a companion to my Orion and EVH. Hopefully all can and will be revealed in the Misc. section soon...

Wilfred,
That looks a bit like a Fodera to me.
Do tell

the_mule · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2005, 12:40:18 AM »

Nope, no Fodera, but not bad at all for a first guess. THE GAME IS ON!!

Hints so far:
1. Picture as shown in previous post
2. This EXACT SAME bass has been reviewed in Bass Player magazine (how cool is that!)

OK, I'll play
I'm guessing it's a F Bass.

Well, I'm at a disadvantage because I never read BP (too expensive here), so I'll guess
Marchelewski, or Hanewinkel. Or maybe it's a Wishnevsky....

im going to guess benevente. if its not fodera, that has to be it. (digs through old bp's....)
