Well, show out, Mr. Bishop! I agree with Al: You ARE the man!

When I grow up (and if the Lord hasn't returned by then), I hope to have a collection half as expansive and beautiful as yours.

I am impressed, and inspired!

I am very thankful and blessed to have a collection such as this and a wife that understands! Believe me, I don't take it for granted and I guess I am hopelessly hooked! What can I say? It's all Ken's fault.

You sir are correct in all counts. I'm a flame & maple top junkie.

Either way the wood is beautiful, was the bass created especialy for you by Ken, or did you aquire it else where?
The BSR6P has the 18 volt preamp. I bought the bass two years ago from Bass Emporium in Austin TX while traveling down there on business. I stopped in to take a look at what they had, and ended up buying it on the spot. Best playing bass I own (as well as the BT6).

Hello Eranio, I have a question, I noticed that you have your low "B" string strung in the Fodera head shot photo were normally the "A" string would be, is there any particular reason why

My unsolicited response would be: I suspect this is due to the design of the peg-head. There really is no other place for the B string to be strung given the line from the Nut to the respective Tuning Peg. Odd, but I guess one thing it allows for is B string extension and ease of wind to the tuning peg.
