As mentioned in the "Introductions" area, here is a photo of the ND Arsenal. 1968 vintage Hofner, 50th Anniversary American Standard Jazz, Coco Bolo Fantasy 00MK12429, 1999 Orion 5-String, Yahama. Since I don't gig any longer, the combo amps are all I need. Mostly, I play the SWR, although I suppose I could move enough air to rattle the windows if they were all daisy chained. Hummm, interesting idea. They're usually not that close together. Maybe I should try it Dean |

Nice collection. Yep, daisy-chain them at least once, just for the h**l of it Ellery (Lowlife) (Message edited by lowlife on August 24, 2007) |

Looks like Bass Olympus: Cocobolo Zeus flanked by lesser deities. Great pic! Will |

Dean, Cool! You have 00MK12429. I have 00MKC12421 (also cocobolo). We're nursery-mates! Both of your basses are impressive! Peace, James |

Hey All, Thanks for all of the nice comments; much appreciated. I know this is "the" Alembic message board, but I have a question for Chuck if you're checking back. The serial number of my Hofner is 2710. This indicates a 1966, distributed by Selmer, date range according to the Hofner website. Perhaps when I purchased it (in 1969, the dealer told me it was a new 1968) it was old inventory at Selmer or at the dealer. Would you mind sharing the serial number of the Hofner you purchased in 1970? James: We have sibling bass guitars in the 00MK1249x family. We should have a family reunion in 2010 on their 10th birthday! Dean |

Sorry Dean. That bass fell victim to my deamon ex wife about a year after I purchased it. Chuck |
