Here is my dynamic duo. One has a ceramic pup and the other, alnico which makes quite a difference without them being completely different animals. I love the transparent colors and amazingly enough, both of these have one piece swamp ash bodies which I understand is quite rare for a later model Ernie Ball bass.

Here's my 2 Pedullas. Kinda twin-like I'd say. Buzz Bass and MVP 5. Both bought right here from fellow board members and upstanding citizens pjmuck and lsimy.

Thanks gents for a couple of great basses. 8-)

Will get a better pic shortly.

Ha! I agree, both would benefit from black screws to complement the black pickguards and bridges. Maybe I'll see what Chris can do for me.

Also, just as an aside, that is Midnight Blue. AzureGlo is not so dark.

Here is another fine pair. The NT4 is a 2006. Rings like a bell with insane sustain and harmonic content. The BO5 is a 2001 with the original brass nut. All the growl and snarl you could ask for and only very minimal neck dive:

Reviving this thread. I just got finished with the rebuild of my two main basses that I use at every WCO show. No matter what I use I always come back to my Hotrod P. Now my 4 string and my 8 string have the same pickups and hardware. A big thanks to Bill W for helping with this one. The 8 string bridge worked out great and the Ultralights have SERIOUSLY brought the weight of the headstock down. I love the mini clovers too. Boosh and/or KAKAOW!!

Very cool 8-string!

Glad to see this thread revived. I hope to have a pair of twins of my own to show off soon...
