Whoa! Alan, what do you need so many 4-strings for? Do you play all of them? Anyway - congratulations on impressive collection!

How about this bad boy - there are currently only four worldwide and this is the only one in the UK   A good companion for my Persuader I think! No huge variety of tones - but the tone it does have is absolute killer!

Is that an old Music Man Sabre with natural finish and maple fingerboard I see there?

It sure is!

adjover, I hope you play also well you have basses !!

Alan does indeed play well!

Thanks Dave!  You're no slouch yourself!
 
Speaking of slouches, I'm reminded of a line from the movie Caddyshack ...
 
Judge Smales: ... and I'm no slouch myself.
Ty Webb: Don't kid yourself judge.  You're a terrific slouch.

Nice collection Alan.  
 
I have a natural finish MM Sabre but mine is a rosewood fretless neck. Bought it new in October 1978.  
 
OO

white cloud:  that looks like either a Carl Thompson or an Eshenbaugh.  I'm assuming it's neither since there are only four?  cool looking bass.

Is that a wishbass John?

I thought so. I have a Music Man Sabre that looks identical to yours. I've had it new since 78 or 79. I'll have to put a picture of my family in here with the Sabre included. Nice to see another one.

Eligilam, Graeme - it is a Prometeus!  
 
Handbuilt in Italy to my exact specs/woods by the upcoming luthier Armando Pugliese. He is a classical instrument luthier who has decided to follow his real passion of building electric basses! He has a very individual philosophy about how basses should be built - I decided to buy into it!
 
Feels very much like a Wal custom to play and has the punchiest/nicest tone I have ever heard on a passive bass!
 
Woods: body - solid Ovangkol, neck - quarter sawn Padauk, fingerboard - quarter sawn cocobolo, control cover - wenge! Single Bartolini soap bar pickup.
 
I am delighted - and his prices are very modest (I dont know how he makes a profit!)
 
John.

 
Here's my Wishbass. It's a 'Swirl'fretless.

Hiya, let me be the first Guitar slinger to post my small Alembic Family.  
 
From left to right (in case you couldn't guess) is my 2002 Skylark super thick flamed maple top with a glowing mahogany back standard neck 'cept it's 25.5 scale, and then 2005 Further with the added bonus of side LED's.  The odd Further item is that it has the Further mark (F) in the serial number, but apparently there is a bass with the same 5 digit serial number.
 
BTW In the background is my 1928 Kimball Piano.  Not in pristine condition, but it sure works well when the power is out!
 
Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to birth an Alembic of my own design.  Then 3 will make the family, and that's a magic number  

I've never seen a Skylark and Further side by side before.  I had no idea the Skylark was so much larger.
