Nice! I guess having three four string basses, makes you as 12stringbassist;>)

Beautiful Blue Boy, Ian. I've officially got GAS for one again...

That's a great collection there David.

Here's a 60's line up with the rebel refinished dot inlay boys being held in place by the purist Fireglo deluxe minders...

Andrew,
I hope I am not the first to bring this to your attention, but one of your basses looks a little strange. The second one from the right. Maybe it is just the camera, though.

Your right Scoobster...It is, shall we say a little bare compared to it's siblings and slightly more acoustic at present...
I'm in the (slow) process of hopefully making it as proud as the rest of the gang...

Thanks Andrew! Now if I could only talk my wife into letting spend enough to find a V63 and a '68 or earlier with a horsehoe!!!

What finish are you going to go with for your project?

Forgivness is easier than permission !!!

LOL Jim!!! But not with my wife... In the last year the following basses have walked into the house:

'69 Ric 4001 MG
'78 Ric 4002 MG
Sadowsky jazz "J"
Sadowsky "PJ"
Marchlewski custom 4 string

Thankfully she also saw the following basses leave to pay for the ones above:

'69 Fender Telecaster bass
'76 Ric 4001 AG
'02 Lakland 4-94
'88 Pedulla MVP
'88 PRS Bass IV
'98 Musicman Stingray

Unfortunately, the basses I sold didn't exactly pay for all of the funds necessary to cover the costs of the new ones! DARN!!!

It's actually got some nice figuring David, so I'm going to leave it Mapleglo. It could still be a while though knowing me...
