  53. Hans Joachim Wieland

    I have about 15 basses: MM Stingray, Sadowsky NYC JB, Robin Ranger, Sandberg California, Tacoma Thunderchief, Fender Jazz 1980 and a bunch of Fender Precisions from 1963 to 1994.

    • Hey Hans… nice collection! If you’re interested in having one of your vintage basses featured, we’d love to hear from you – drop us a note at [email protected]

    • Hi Corey, my ´63 Precision could be interesting, I guess, because I can trace back the history to ´69, and I have some photos of it taken in the 70s, 80s and 90s. There is also some mistery around it…
      I have to put new frets in (André Waldenmayer in Munich will do that delicate job), and then it will be ready to play (yes, I will play it on stage). I can take some photos of it and write a little on the history, but I need some time for that. I am pretty busy at the moment. Cheers, Hans
