I am glad you like my collection. I have another one a Traben Bass used by my son, but he plays all my basses, the kid has future, loves music. These basses are my babes. My favorite of course is my Alembic, besides been built in 1995, this bass I only used once on stage, I keep it brand new. And I plan in the near future buy another one, maybe a Series I. I don't play much no more, but the pleasure of collecting basses is superior to anything else and this passion I am passing to my son, at least the day I die somebody will care the torch for me.
Thanks

Very cool Joe.  That's great that you have something like this to share with your son.

Nice collections Joe & Mehdi!  Thanks for sharing.
 
Joe:  I'm jealous.  I've been trying to get my soon to be 12 year old more interested in playing guitar, but he won't pick it up unless I sit there with him.  He's much more interested in playing X Box.  I keep telling him if he plays, someday he's going to inherit one heckuva collection.  If he doesn't play, mom will get to sell it.  So far no luck.  Enjoy playing with your son.  
 
By the way: Fender Musicmaster (found in a trash can)??   You must live in some neighborhood!  LOL
 
Bill, the guitar one

Bill, my only child is a vocalist but at least she married a bass player.  Well, he was a guitar player at the time but soon converted.
 
Sam

Ain't it a shame the way marriage can ruin a man?  hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

Have patience, Bill.  When my youngest was 10, he said he wanted to play guitar, so I got him a Strat for Solstice (Damn, I'm a good dad!).  It then sat in the basement for a few years, then got pawned to a friend.  Meanwhile he took 6 years of drum lessons (got him a Pearl kit - why couldn't I have a dad like me?) - then he decided to sign up for guitar lessons, using my accoustic.  A few months later the Strat was redeemed, and, at 21, he 's good enough to pay for his beer and - well, you know - with his playing, and to mock Dad's lousy chops, the little ingrate.

PS - the friend who held it was infected with GAS - had no guitar before, 13 when I got the Strat back, and over 30 now.  He curses me - but his heart isn't in it.
