Great collection! I especially dig the Lakland (if you're ever selling that one...), the all-black RIC and that beautiful Precision.

Wow Bill, great basses! Where'd you get a lefty Geddy bass??? What year is your P-Bass? That Dolan bass looks cool, piezo bridge...?

Thanks!
The Lakland was made for me, Dan was very kind to have it made. It the Sherwood green, picture doesn't do the finish any justice. She may end up with some black hardware in the near future. The Geddy is a Fender jazz with another neck, notice the extra fret. Fender doesn't seem to want to offer one for left-handed players and I became tired of waiting. Planning on adding piezo saddles soon and maybe active pick-ups.
The P-bass is a 1975, I had to have it but don't play her enough any more. The Rick has become our NAMM show bass, she's like to change every year and this is how she'll look for the 2010 show. Anyone attending the NAMM show can stop in and play her, and say "Hi!"
Jeroen, If I sell the Lakland, you will be the first on the list!

Great collection indeed!

But I'd really like to know more about what I'm looking at (i.e. models, years, etc).

What did you change about the bass? I can't really tell on my monitor at work right now, but at home I thought I saw a Pickguardian bridge pickup surround, and I noticed the different tuners. Is there more? And at what stand will you be?

Sorry about that! It took me two days to figure out the camera and I'm just happy the pictures showed up.

fabulous selection! I especially like the caption for the "test subject". I'll take a number and stand in line for the '75 P-Bass.

Love the Ric!
I've been curious about the Schecter 8s, how are they?
I have a Elite 5 and like it very much.

Thanks! I really like Rebel's Red Rick, that is Sweet!
The Schecter is fun, it does take a little getting use to. the sound can get lost in a band setting, but it fills in alot for a three piece. Sounds Great playing Floyd's "Money" and no need for a second guitar.

That is a very nice collection you have there. my favorite 3 has to be the EB0, the Precision, and of course the Ric. all basses that i wish having oh well, at least im 2 for 3 right? i have an Epiphone EB0 "Convert" and my infamous Red Ric. anyway, keep the collection going strong
