Modulus Quantum 6
1997, 2Tek bridge, bartolini electronics, alder body, quilted maple top, red over blue finish, and a matching colored gloss over the graphite neck. i had been dreaming of owning a modulus Q for 15 years and i've finally got one. i just recieved this bass last week!
Tune TWB-5
early 90's, built in Japan (not one of the korean knock-offs). ash body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, Tune electronics. the pics dont quite do the finish on this bass justice. the sunburst is more gracefull than it looks and the colors, especially the blues, are deeper. i've tried several times to photograph it but the color has been difficult every time. even with fine tuning in photoshop, i still couldnt get it quite right. by the way, the string color isnt a photoshop trick...those are DR extra life strings in peacock blue. (i've got red devils and black beauties on some other basses.)
Peavey Cirrus 5 Fretless
original USA cirrus, redwood top, alder body, maple and purpleheart neck, pau ferro fingerboard. loads of mwah.
Tune Zi-3-8N
late 90's Japanese Tune 8 string. koa top and back, mahogany core, wenge accent, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, bartolini pickups, Tune preamp.
Musicman StingRay 5
96' or 97', ash body, maple neck, maple fingerboard. this bass is good friend of mine and it was my main axe for 8 years. these days im playing the tune, and now the modulus, more...but only because i wanted to work with some new tones. it still plays awesome and still growls like a caged animal. its one of the best stingray 5's i've ever heard.
Frankenstein Fretless Acoustic
this is one i threw together from spare parts over 5 years ago. i did a very, very sloppy job. i just felt like goofing around one day and i never thought it would hold together for long. but to my great surprise, its still in one piece and it still plays great. the body is a plywood jazz guitar body that i was given. it was already sprayed that funky green-gold by the time i got it. the neck is a japanese fender unlined fretless jazz...maple and rosewood. the keys are a cheep, used, 2x2 set i managed to fit on there. the bridge is somewhat oddly pre-compensated used wooden guitar bridge (i didnt need the compensation, which is why its angled the way it is now), and the tail piece is the bridge plate from a steinberger copy. one of these days i really ought to clean up the sloppy work and put some real keys on there. it deserves it.
Samick Jazzbox
17" wide, 3 3/4" thick, hot rodded with a duncan jazz in the neck, duncan screamin demon in the bridge, gold bigsby, gold ABM roller bridge, and a graphite nut. one of these days i'll get around to putting locking keys on it.
Ibanez RG270
hot rodded with a real floyd rose, gibson tony iomi in the bridge, duncan vintage staggard in the middle, duncan fat cat P90 in the neck, several additional switching options, skull knobs, and tuned down to BEADF#B.
ok...your turn...lets see those strings.
