Thanks for the link.
It would be fun to see some of the more unusual basses in his collection.

He should ask Steve Howe about putting together a coffee table book of his bass collection...i'm sure he could sell quite a few of those.

+1! I love The Steve Howe Guitar Collection book.

Now I don't feel so bad about my 55 basses, not that I ever really did.

When i had 12 basses,my most at one time,it drove me nuts trying to keep up with using and/or servicing all of them. Then again,playing bass is not my profession,only a great pastime.

I agree with the "keeping up" issue. My 10 or so acoustics keep me hopping...living in the desert I have to constantly refill the humidifying elements in each case. (And then there are the other acoustic instruments in my collection (violins, viola, mandolin, octave mando, bazouki, etc.) that also need the same TLC.)
But, it IS worth the trouble!

"CS: We’re intending to do a new album in 2010. We’ve already had meetings about it, talking about what musical ideas we’ll be putting forward, etc. Once that’s established we’ll put them all in a pot and see what comes out. I’m also working on an album with Steve Hackett from Genesis and we’ve almost finished it. It’s something I’m very proud of, actually. It’s probably going to be coming out under the name of Squacket next year."

Hopefully.....soon.

I agree Woody....I've been doing some TRIMMING of my own for the very same reason.
