Basses

My Bass Collection Over the last few years I've also started collecting some weird and wonderful retro instruments, not the usual vintage basses you might find in other collections - but some of the more exotic examples of bass design that have been produced over this instrument's relatively short history - I hope you enjoy them. Because of the variety of music I play with Jools Holland I need to use a combination of many basses including my MusicMan, Fender and Yamaha Silent Basses and my recently acquired Kolstein Bussetto Travel Bass.
