Here you have a little photo of myself when I was in Argentina surrounded by all my beloved instruments. I have none of these ones now; I had to sell them to be able to travel to Europe.
The classic guitar I’m holding with my right hand it’s a truly fantastic instrument, it was hand made and it’s rather old. It’s so good that I decided not to sell it, but giving it to one of my best friends, he’s still happily enjoying it. Well… maybe not so happily cos he is in Argentina and to be there today is almost a synonym of being unhappy, cos of the terrible politico-social problems the country is facing up.
The Fretless Bass I’m holding with my left had is the only in its kind in the world, I love the model, it’s a “N. II Model” he he… The bass itself was called TEMPLE. This is one of the basses I have done myself handmade, just a few meters from there where the carpentry of my father used to be. It was a very good instrument indeed, which is somewhere being used in France for an Arab man who plays folk music from his country, life is crazy! It’s hard to see, but if you look well you’ll find a Dimarzio pickup in the main bridge, this pickup is one of the greatest things Dimarzio had ever made, something like that:
<!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC=" http://www.dimarzio.com/images/jazz_c.jpg" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --> I think they are called Model J if I’m not wrong. Lovely!
Then you’ll see a couple of Dimi pickups, nobody knows them cos it was a little trademark I think, already disappeared, from Argentina. This is what I have been told anyway.
Behind, my double bass, not so good in fact but more than enough to studying, and this is what I did with it. I got very tired of going here and there with the instrument, all the time... late at night, particularly when I was in France, at Paris; I had to carry it on my back to different pubs getting mad for many years, so I have divorced this instrument even if I still am in love. As you can see, the support of the instruments it’s not very conventional but it worked well for studying and practicing.
On the wall, a few pictures, and a few paintings I did at this time.
There is a Picolo Electric Guitar as well, bue it's unfortunately not in the picture, similar to the one used today by Pat Metheni.
The black box at your right, it’s a big return we used when playing life.
Well, I did it just a few hours before 2003, so to be here with you Z people and friends.
