Family Photo

[N4860]

I haven't been around this forum too long, and I've only started a couple of threads here in the bass forum. You may have remembered a within the last few months when I had issues with the neck on my DD3 SR and then I needed some advice on getting the neck of my Bongo 6 back in shape after I got it in return for a trade.

Everything is all good now, and here's a family pic of my current MM basses:

Nice! Love the Butterscotch and fretless!

I love those both too! That purple looking one on the couch in the middle is the newest addition which is the color shifting 'plumpkin' finish. Here is a good picture I took of it going from plum to pumpkin:

Nice collection. The colour shift is brilliant. I do really like that.
I need to do a family photo

 

[muggsy]

Very nice! The roasted neck on that fretless is amazing.

The Plumpkin...it’s like 2 basses in 1!

Plumpkin. Brilliant I love it

Lol! I do, too!

Yeah, the Plumpkin is such a cool finish, and the photos I took and the stock ones on the website really don't do it justice. I hope they start doing some more finishes like that. An SR5 would be cool in that finish. Or even better, how about a Bongo or Big Al (one can dream, right)? One suggestion that I would have if they do more colour shifting finishes, is to upload a gif showing the shift in colour as opposed to just photos.

That is a quite impressive family photo! I see you grabbed a few BFR basses, as well as the cool Plumpkin Stingray from the vault. I was looking at that one yesterday. It says the SLO neck profile is slimmer and shallower than the standard neck profile. I love the feel of a 4 string with a very slim neck.

I just became an EBMM owner in August 2020, and after I got my first, I decided to get a BFR bass too. It's just stunning.

Congrats! Which BFR bass did you end up getting?

Last month I got the September 2020 satin honey burst BFR Bongo.
My first, which I got in August, is a fretless Bongo. Then a month later when the BFR satin honey burst Bongo came out, I was persuaded to get a fretted one too. It's a very unique and visually stunning bass.

Procrastinating for months to take a family photo and end up taking a bad photo.
No marks for photography skills but nice photo non the less.
Still. The frame looks a little empty. Have to work on that !

“Empty frame”...great excuse for NBD! Lol!

Wow! Fabulous family you've got there! That 'plumkin' is an amazing finish, and I really dig the copperish glitter next to it.
Side note, the moose sheet is very cool! And is that a bit of 'protective' foil on the sofa leg?

Haha, yeah just picked up that loveseat this summer for my jam room in my basement and I have a couple of cats that like to sleep on it and scratch the sides so I put some foil on it to discourage them and the sheets help keep it a bit clean when I don't have people over.

Happy holidays y'all!

Spectacular collection. Some very rare pieces too, that Inca Silver - nice!

Would love to see a pic of the 1976 as well - radio knobs on that one?

 

[drewk]

Thanks...
Here’s my ‘76 Radio knob Ray...
The ‘79 sabre also missing from the original pic, is thought to be only slab body pre EB sabre! ��
