After all the search I did for the last couple of years, I unfortunately could not find Mike Porcaro's S2000 5-string that I was desperately looking for :@
So I finally decided for the next best thing, and asked Rob last February to built me a kind of replica, after a long wait it arrived last week, and here it is, my brand new baby B)
Model : "Standard" S2 Classic thru-neck, 5-string, Headless
Neck : Woven Carbon Graphite, 5-string, Fretted, Black Phenolic Fingerboard, White front-leds
String spacing : Standard
Body/finish : Alder body/core, Natural Graphite shell on the front and back faces , High gloss finish
Pickups/circuit : 2xSoap-bar / Board 303
Hardware : Black
Note : It arrived on my 20th Wedding Anniversary last Tuesday, I guess there are not a lot of you that ever had such a good wedding anniversary present from his wife () (to be honest, my wife did not had a clue, and bought me a good bottle of whisky :D)

Hi Rik,
Than we have more in common than only Status :D
I am quite familiar with the guys at Toto, these pics are from an outdoor concert in Trier (Germany) in July 2006 B)
I am on Luke's right (the ugly guy wearing the Toto-shirt), on the left Morris, the guitar-player of our band Fahrenheit (www.fahrenheitband.nl).
Cheers,
Paul
Nice one, Paul!
I am familiar with Steve via the Ernie Ball company parties and NAMM....
Not really pals. But he knows my name and says hello when he sees me!
HEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!
As for Tony Levin, he thinks I am stalking him! :o

Simon Philips isn't just A drummer....he is THE drummer!

Here's another pic from that same gig, but now with Simon (drummers are very related to bass-players, so no comment on that Andre) :)
And noooooooo.......none of us are gay, it was late and we finished a bottle of Jack that night :o
Unfortunately I don't have a pic with Mike, I know the guys from Toto quite some years, but I never managed to have a picture of both of us :@
These days he still seems to suffer/recover from his thumb-enjury and Lee Sklar replaces him during the 2007/2008 "Falling in Between" World tour :(

Oh, indeed I do!
How's this then?
All better?
I've bumped into Tony so many times now, that when he sees me, he just smiles and waves! :D

Great shot Rik, but you know what guitarists are like - Good to have you on the forum and hope you will enjoy your new baby when you get her.
I think I need a Streamline too ... and very soon :o

This is one of my favorite pics. Taken at the winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA
Just over my shoulder is Dave LaRue from Satriani's band, and Tony Levin!
It looks like they are all lined up to get pics with ME! :D
