Hi Everybody,
I don't know if this thread has been on here, I couldn't find it. Why do you like your bass? Is it the looks, sound, color, price or a combination. |

Kinda like all the toys i had when i was a kid i can never part with them, guess im just kinda soft, polly too soft. Idk, besides that fender jazz has a great tone and versatility. plus i got it when i graduated from high school, hated that place, reminds me how i made it thru that hel.l hole |

Then theres the intangible ... you pick up a bass and right off the bat, you just know "this is it." Actually, that's not an intangible. That's still comfort! lol

A couple for sentimental reasons, a couple because of how they play, a couple because of how they sound -- and most of them for all these reasons. Looks are secondary, but I do have matching J and P basses, so I guess I gave some thought to it . . . |

My Lakland 4-94: I *love* how it plays. Best 4 string I've ever owned, as far as playing. Soundwise, it's close to perfect - Sometimes the Barts don't sound as crisp as I might like, but they *do* sound very rich & warm -- so it's a bit of a trade off, right? You can't have *everything*....
Appearance? Dull. Black body, maple neck. I'd MUCH prefer pretty wood, but I figure that a plain black body has an advantage: If I ding it, it won't break my heart like say a piece of spalted maple would...
So that's why I love my primary bass. My Zon 5 is great for everything but slap (string spacing is crazy narrow) and my Clement 5 is nice but I think isn't quite what I want...
