Show Us Your Basses (Part 2)

My bass collection is better than my bass playing, but I just love short scale basses.

Here is my main collection before I added a Höfner 500/1 and fretless Sire U5. The 6 string in the back lost its spot. The 27" Valiant Mini (nothing mini about its tone!) is hanging on an individual stand because the body is too small and goes straight to the floor.

Here are the 17" Mayones Cali 4 and Cali 5 that were my Xmas present to myself.

Here is an example of the Marco Marcústico that I ordered last May that is due for completion at the end of February 2025.

Here’s a complete list.

30" 5: Form Factor Audio Wombat FJS5
30" 4 fretless: Marco Marcústico (due 25 Feb 2025), Sire U5
30" 4: Höfner Green Line 500/1, Lākland Skyline HB30, Reverend Wattplower Mark II, Ernie Ball Music Man Tim Commerford passive Stingray #23 of 50, Sire U5, Ibanez EHB1000S, G&L Fullerton Deluxe Fallout, Schecter Banshee, Gibson SG
27" 4: Valiant Mini Bass
17" 4 and 5: Mayones Cali 4 and Cali 5
Amps: GR Bass AT Cube 500 combo and AT Cube 112 cab, Fender Rumble Studio 40 combo

Many thanks to Josh for his Beginner to Badass course that got me going again after a 40 year interruption for the Army, university and career!
