Frenchy,

Fortissimo. I like your horde of Mats basses.

Thank's Ian,

Oh wow. I want one! I only have six Mat basses! Possibly seven, if my old Aria Jazz is a Mat.

Hi Warn,

I love your Rail's... Never had the pleasure to try one.. I would really like to get one some day, never saw one local...

Oh wow. I want one!

Are you talking about a Vantage?...

Also, your T-45 should be a major tone monster.. I have a T-40 dual blade pups from 79-80 and it is just amazing.... They dont make them like they use to....

The Rails blow most people away because no one expects them to have good tone, but they'll beat out a lot of solid body basses. I think it has something to do with the tuned steel rails, but I can't say for sure.

And any bass in your collection would be nice to have, Vantage or otherwise. They're all beauties!

The T-45 was the product of having nothing to do one day and heading over to Sam Ash and just playing every bass in reach. I was about to leave when I found a rack of basses somewhat hidden in the aisle next to the PA systems, and the T-45 was hanging on the back of it next to a roof support pillar. Picked it up, plugged it in, and was sold on it after strumming the open E just once. I played it for about an hour, just blown away by the thick tone. They only wanted $300 for it, and it came with an old padded gig bag (where I later found a strap buried in the pocket!) I was pretty astounded that it outperformed the $1200+ basses on the rack.
