new old bass day: kinda twins...

[FunkyPunky]

...you all know her specs so I guess I don't have to tell ya. For those who don't: she's sexy as hell with a voice soo sweet.

I'm so happy she finally made her way down to Germany

Congrats, getting to be a serious collection of very limited basses

 

[oli@bass]

Congratulations! Great you got her, so I don't have to think about that one anymore

2 pairs of twins in a month, yours being the second. Very nice!

 

[gsdito]

Congrats! Take care of that one. It was mine not so long ago (I took the first of your photos). It was tough to let it go. Enjoy it!

 

[jlepre]

Wasn't that manfloozy's bass?

 

[syciprider]

Oohhh

 

[lefenton]

Wasn't that manfloozy's bass?

My thoughts exactly....

 

[Manfloozy]

It was, I reluctantly let her go, but she is in good hands. Probably the sexiest bass to pass through here yet.

Play her in good health Frank!

 

[keko]

And that's the winner combo of all fretted/fretless twins in the world!

Congrats, 1st place, You win!

Any other comment is worthless!

Matt, I cant believe you let her go *facepalm*

Frank, CONGRATS... you MUST attend the next EBMM get together in DE!!!

Wow, besides the beautiful body, the neck on that fretless is stunning. What kind of wood is that pao ferro or something?

 

[FunkyPunky]

Thanks everybody, even though my picture is (due to my "abilities") of bad quality!
Anyway, the second picture gives you an idea of how similar and different at the same time these twins do look. The quilted maple and fretboards of both basses are so beautiful I could sit here all day watching 'em... Awesome!

She's in good hands, Matt, I promise. And if I should ever even think of letting her go, you'll be the first one to ask - you know that!
To all the forumites: Matt's a great guy. If you should ever get into business with him, you'll know what I mean. Simply great.

Indeed, it is I am really happy that I can afford all those great instruments. Although, some are still missing like a BFR, 100th NAMM, 30th Anni....

Thanks so much, Keko! If I only had Olis abilities in shooting such great pics... I really suck (at least) in that regard!

you MUST attend the next EBMM get together in DE!!!

Unfortunately, my job as a manager is based upon spontaneous appointments to a very high degree. So whenever I plan doing sth. my boss calls Frankfurt/Wiesbaden isn't that far, so there's hope, we're going to meet some day Maybe EBMM throws in some goodies next time?! I'll ask MusikMeyer...

 

[OldManMusic]

I still think that is the best looking bass I've seen on this forum. Congratulations! And +1 on Matt being a great guy!!

 

[danny-79]

When i opened the thread my first thought was "Isn't that Matt-manfloozy's 20ith?"
Thats a beautiful looking fingerboard that you don't forget,
Congrats to the new owner on a good score

 

[Manfloozy]

Life is a journey, not a destination... and in my EBMM journey I've been very fortunate.

Part of the fun can be passing something amazing on to the next person who is just as thrilled to receive it as I was!

This -IS- the most beautiful bass I've ever seen "." ... and she looks gorgeous next to her fretted twin!!!

I was, am still and will always be thrilled. You HAVE to see her in person - pictures don't do her justice enough, seriously.

... and she looks gorgeous next to her fretted twin!!!

Not only to her fretted twin, but also next to all the other 'Rays you see in the back (see sig for details). That quilted maple is just stunning - and jet so different than the fretted 'Ray.

A big +1 on that!

If I only had Olis abilities in shooting such great pics... I really suck (at least) in that regard!

Oh thanks, but.... I probably just have a better camera and take the time to do the pics with proper day light.

Fantastic fretless neck. Great line-up K@@L

 

[drTStingray]

Great collection - that fretless is really gorgeous.
