| Acoustic Bass (Germany, ca.1900) My parents bought it in 1973 for DM 700 (ATS 4925 or EUR 358). It was in rather bad but playable condition. I had it thoroughly repaired in 1983 when I started playing seriously. | |
| Rickenbacker 4001 (1977) S/N PF4726 (made in June 1976). My first electric bass. Saved my money for one and a half years to buy it (blame it on Chris Squire and Paul McCartney that it was a Rick). |  |
| Ibanez Studio 8string (1978) Bought it because it looked so cool (almost like an Alembic which I couldn't afford). Didn't know what to play on it for 20 years. Now, with Rubberfinger, I know. | |
| Wal Custom Fretless (1982) S/N PB1696. One day I took all my money and went to Munich to buy the best fretless I could find (slightly influenced by Percy Jones of Brand X). |  |
 | ESP Precision (1984) Built from ESP replacement parts. One-piece ash body, vintage style maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, EMG pickups, Schaller hardware, Hipshot D-tuner. Still my main axe. |
| Slapper 5string (1987) My first 5-string. Headless, graphite neck-through body construction. Very special sound. Replaced the original electronics by a modified Bartolini preamp. | |
 | Neubauer 6string (1989) One of the first basses Andreas built. Extra long scale (36"), hard to get the right strings for it, but killer sound. |
| Neubauer Electric Upright 6string (1996) One-of-a-kind custom built upright. Detachable neck, adjustable piezos for each string, self-designed preamp. Amplified sound is way better than amplified acoustic bass. |  |
 | Washburn Bantam 6string (1998) Got this one used from a singer who wanted a 4string instead (or maybe a 1-string?). Alder body, sounds surprisingly good when recorded straight into the desk. Electronics are a little noisy though (but still ok at the price), will replace them soon. |
| Fender Jazz Bass 4string (1999) Made in USA, modified to 60s look. |  |
 | Fender Jazz Bass 5string (1999) A cheap one, made in Mexico. It needed heavy modification to sound good, but the wood was OK. Description of electronics and "hot-rodding" will be on my electronics page (some day). |

 | This is my homegrown modular synth. Strictly analog, with oscillators, filters and LOTS of knobs. |
| It took me more than a year to build it (well, I also did some other things during that year...) |  |
 | Wanna see what's inside? |
