    Nice collection. When taking photos of your basses try not using a flash. You'll get the best results if you can. In order to do that you'll have to move them into a area where there's lots of natural light, or where you've got good direct lighting.

    Here's a photo of one of my SR5's and there's no flash used, just good ambient lighting that I took advantage of.





    Experiment with different lighting, you'll quickly learn what works for you and what doesn't.

    Good luck.

    That SR5 on the left with blue strings is the colour I wanted when I bought my first SR5. It turns out they didn't have one in that colour in the next batch they ordered at the store, so I ended up going with trans white.

    Nice basses!

    Blue basses with maple fretboards are a win in my book. Outstanding collection.

    Cool. Love those pics. Maybe you should consider a photobucket account and post them to the Pictures thread, where they belong...

    Photobucket is great for use in forum threads and also for eBay and such. AFAIK, you can also use the forum's own photo album and reference the pics in there. Though I've never done that.

    A shame about needing to sell some... I'm in the same boat, sort of, too many basses too little room. And I want some others for a change... gotta get a FS/FT ad, I guess.
