That is quite impressive collection Barry.

So for myself I am taking the minimalist route as I am with all possessions.
I'm no longer interested in owning big houses full of the detrius of life. We now just have our apartment overlooking the ocean and as everyone knows apartments don't have that much space for storage.
I have reduced the number of instruments down to 2 one is my lovely Ovation acoustic and I'm putting together a nice precision bass guitar just in case I ever get the chance to play in a band again as a bass player.

Here is a picture of my Ovation.

Thanks, Kev.

That Ovation is gorgeous!  I had the chance to play one several years ago.  The rounded back made sure the sound coming out of the guitar's ornate sound holes was full.

Let us know which bass guitar you've selected.  I've always liked your Hofner Union Jack Bass.





So does Paul.   :)

I had to go back and add my bass amplifier and speaker cabinet to my list...





Fender Bassman 100T 100W Tube Bass Head Amplifier







Fender Bassman 410 Neo 500-Watt 4x10-Inch Bass Amp Cabinet




Yes, Kev, you had me figured out when a few years ago you commented that I have a liking for Beatles gear...

Lovely ovation Nim. Great colour. I always liked the look of the ovation acoustics but can’t recall actually playing one. Did have an ovation electric at one point which was a very nice guitar.

He does have black strings on his Hofner in that 1969 picture, Kev.

I have Hofner H1133B flat wound nickel strings on mine...

Justin Hayward played his on Question...

For years, I had trouble playing Question on my Guild JF30-12 but thanks to the internet, I learned that I had to use open-C tuning...

Kev, in open C tuning, the low E string is taken down two whole steps to C, the A string is tuned a whole step down to G, D will go one whole step down to C, G will stay the same, B is tuned up one half step to C, and the high E string stays the same...





For my Guild 12-string, the lower four pairs of strings are an octave apart.
