[ModmanQ6]

I like mine, but there are many more pristine and exotic ones in here for sure... I play mine and have had them all for years, so they have the occasional ding and mojo...

Thanks, King! ;)

@ModMan and JazzAd:
I also wonder what that beautiful fretless is!! :)

[ModmanQ6]

That is the Opus "Frankenwood 5" fretless. It was made by a local luthier named Dan Jones. I bought it from the guy who originally commissioned Dan to build it, so he could buy his wife a Kerzweil KB for church as a christmas present. I call it frankenwood because this guy likes using many different woods (like 13 or so (?)) Here's what I know about the setup:
The electronics are a EMG BQC setup with vol, blend, treble, stacked mid w/ frequency sweep, and bass. The pickup is a triple coil of some make that isn't obvious and I'm not really clear what each of the switches do except the black one, which turns on the embedded led's along the side of the neck. It has plenty of Mwah, plays like butter and has the widest tonal variation capabilities of all my basses...

Since I have over 20 Basses, I don't fell I should compete or post the pictures, as they are all in the photo gallery anyway.

I love that blue Lakland.:D

Of course it is! Suker... I'll perform a new search! ;)
EDIT: hmm... still no hits... I'll go visit their web site then.
EDIT2: hmmm... it's Shuker Guitars?
http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/
So, which bass is it G-Bitch has?
Some of those single-cuts are really nice! :)
EDIT3: Sukop (82Daion below) Surine?
EDIT4: Did a search, and I have now discovered it's probably a Shuker after all. ;) Now... how's got a photo?? :D

Great collections, both of you!

@Brake: I had an OLP with the exact same finish. My daughter loved it! That Spector and the Riverhead are nice, too!

@Hammer: Your collection matches your car, dude ;)

What's the name of that white one? And is that an Aria?

[ModmanQ6]

The white one is his Mauradian. #3 I think...IIRC...

[The Hammer]

the Kev master nails it. the white one is a Mouradian CS-74 and its the third one made. The other bass is an Aria Pro II SB-900.

I'll be bringing most of these basses to Hammerbash for anyone who wants to play them.:D

[MrWalker]

@The Hammer: Mouradian... I remember I've seen it plenty times, but just didn't recall... does it have a special history? :) Too bad the Hammerbash is so far away... or I would have attended!

@Les: Those are two unusal finishes! But very nice! I like them!

13 of 17. Nothing boutique except maybe the USA Cirrus and the JIL Custom. Just tools for my toolbox. The most important ones ( that get gigged the most) are the ASAT, the Hamer 12, the StingRay, and the white MIJ Fender

http://members.chello.nl/r.n.kok/pics/carvin.jpg

"Lord Corvin" -- '92 Carvin LB76F, my main gigging bass

http://members.chello.nl/r.n.kok/bass/MTD/3.jpg

Top: "Lord Tony" -- MTD Kingston I bought off Burdizzos, I'm still tinkering around with it.

Bottom: "Lord Steve" -- Frankenbanez '00 Ibanez SR405. Defretted, EMG 40DC bridge PU wired straight to the jack, Graphtek nut, DR black beauties, Steve DiGiorgio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Digiorgio) signature.

http://members.chello.nl/r.n.kok/bass/roadstar.jpg

Another frankenbass: "Lord Harris" -- '83 Ibanez Roadstar. Bought in terrible condition. Will be finished.. Erm... When I have an idea how I want it finished.

http://members.chello.nl/r.n.kok/bass/mlbody.jpg

Yet another frankenbass: "Lord David" -- '06 home made Scandinavian pine sandwiched ML body with electronics scavenged from a crap bass. Will be finished when the weather is better suited for painting.

Mate, that's stunning. I was telling one of the other forumites the other day that Chris Stambaugh is one of my favourite luthiers (obviously based on photos, nothing more) and that bass is exactly why I think that. I love his designs.
