The latest acquisition

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

From left to right the pic of les' basses go:

His main Carl Thompson walnut 4 string, his CT 6 string fretless Rainbow Bass, his CT 6 banger, and that last one, which i thought was an alembic, but i'm not sure.

"Luthier Carl Thompson built the first piccolo bass to Stanley´s specifications. It basically has the same intervals (E, A, D, G), scale and spacing of the regular bass, but it is tuned one octave higher. Other players have followed suit including Ron Carter who had an acoustic version built for him. But Stanley maintains: 'It was my idea.' "
