Given the fact most of my pictures were on PhotoF*cket and are gone now, and also after looking through Carmine's collection I think it might be fun to post my collection here as well.

More lefty bass porn!

Starting off with my DIY projects.
The mk1's:
Image
This is the first bass I built in the early 90's with some donor parts from a Hohner B2A. Rebuilt it in 2012.

Image
This was my second built, again early 90 and no donor parts on this one, I made everything myself. Rebuilt in 2011.

The mk2's:
Image
Third built, halfway 90's and rebuilt in 2011.

Image
Fourth built, halfway 90's, rebuilt in 2011.

Image
Started on this one halfway 90's, finished it in 2010.

All the following basses I built between 2010 and 2016
The mk3's:
Image

Image

The mk4's:

The mk5:

My Tribute to Leo Fender:
Image
This one started out its life as a 'quick and dirty' build to see if could do a fanned fingerboard, what pickups to use and if could play on it.

That's a tough question, I play them all, most of the time the mood I'm in and the feel and/or sound I want decide which one I choose. I prefer the five strings.
There are few I like less (primarily the feel factor) and because of that don't use them that often.

You and I might be the only 2 on this board that owns a NS Design NXT5 in Left Handed. I have a 2012 CZECH made one in Matt Black, Ebony FB. They stopped doing the Ebony for Phenowood type material.

:shock: Fantastic!! Great collection. So, I’ve spent a lot of time in The Netherlands, and I’m pretty sure that most of my pals over there would have a hard time fitting all of those basses and cases into their houses, without making them into furniture by stacking them like LEGO and covering them with a sheet . How do you do it?

Miss the people, the beers, and the food :D

I only have three cases and a five or six gig bags. :)

The electrics are in my work/hobby/office room:

The acoustics and three cases are in a section of my living room:

The EUB is in another corner in the living room.

This one came by as B-stock at Thomann at a price I could not resist, it was cheaper than the Fortress 5 string I bought recently.
