My Bass Collection...

screambasses · **Posted:** June 27th, 2015, 5:38 pm

I finally took photos of all of my basses - not the best quality.

1 - Zolla. Custom built for me in 1998 or so. I traded this bass for a neck-thru Thumb bass, then sold the Thumb bass. Years later, I found the body only on Ebay.
I scooped it up and put these necks on. The top neck (cheapo Chinese neck) is a piccolo bass and the bottom is a USACG neck. Carvin electronics.
2 - Scream Basses bass. Took me two weeks to hand paint the USACG body. Moses graphite neck. Cocobolo inserts. Audere electronics.
3 - Scream Basses fretless. My own design. Daytona Sunset Orange (Corvette). Moses graphite neck. Passive.
4 - 80s Peavey Foundation.
5 - Schecter Diamond Series.
6 - 80s Ibanez RB630 - all original.
7 - 80s Ibanez RB630 with a righty neck - this is my daily player.
8 - 1979 Ibanez Studio bass. Always wanted one - tough to find in lefty.
9 - 70s Ibanez Jazz bass - the headstock is broken...
10 - ESP LTD
11 - Dean EADG acoustic - just picked this up on Friday. Plays nicely for a cheapo bass.
12 - Dean Xotica - piccolo bass - my other daily player
13 - Frankenbass - 1978 Fender Jazz neck on a USACG body. Audere electronics.
14 - 1977 Ric 4001 - all original.
15 - Hohner B2AV

The Ibanez basses look like 630's to me; the 650 is a p/j. Of course, there could be Jazz pickups hiding in all that black......

In all seriousness, why are you selling it? I just keep thinking about how cool it would look with a toaster and reissue horseshoe.

I love the custom paint on the Scream, by the way!

And, how do you like that Hohner B2AV? I had one which I loved. The B-string left a little to be desired but, for me, it played fantastic and the compact body made it SO comfortable. I sold it soon after buying a B2A, as I am not big on fivers, and I love it as well.

That custom paint job is fantastic. How did you do that?

screambasses · **Posted:** June 29th, 2015, 5:57 pm

I first painted the body blue and then cut out "circle templates" - and then hand-painted every circle.
If you look at it right (stare at one black circle, the other circles will move)

I then covered the bass in epoxy resin.

I think I'm moving to the UK soon, so practically everything may go up for sale. The Ric was a drunken Ebay bid that I didn't think I would win...

The Hohner plays nice. I thought I'd play it more, but I just don't like the feel of a five string.

Haha! At least you did this with a bid. I am so impulsive that usually when do drunk eBay it's a "buy it now" and I pay more than I needed to!

Awesome collection. I really dig the look of those Moses Tele bass necks. Didn't know they made lefties. Thinking about picking one up for a project I'm working on now. What's your opinion of them?

Steve made an entire batch of them for me. I love them. I'm a fan of graphite.
