The first thing that came to my mind was the late Graham Chapman as The Colonel, saying This is getting entirely too silly.  End the sketch.  
 
Priceless.

I've just noticed that PierreYves bass  has a slightly less streamlined bird design of the tailpiece on his bass. What was the reason for the difference in design?  Pierre's bass.

  in comparison , The other twin bass

Congrats Pierre-Yves!
 
Jazzy: I think it's the difference between the Classic taper and the Comfort taper, the bird on the comfort taper is a bit wider and looks a bit sleeker than those on the classic taper basses.

Hey, I think I had the missing twin of this bass. All G strings and no knobs!

Apart from the Dragons Breath that was made for Stanley Clarke, this is the nicest alembic i've seen.  
 
Congratulations again PierreYves on this magnificent bass and all the best with your band. Hopefully I will be able to get to one of your gigs.
