Just thought to myself the other day, "What piece of bass gear have I had the longest?"
My SWR Workingmans 10.
I got it in 1999 and still use it and love it. It's the amp that won't lie to me. If something sucks, it will tell me. And I don't ever plan to sell it. It's been with me longer than any of the 43 basses I've owned (including my first!) and it's great.
How about you others... What's the ONE piece of gear you've had the longest?

By most (edit: TALKBASS) standards, I haven't had *that* many basses in the time since building it - maybe 15 - but that one is still the standard by which I measure the others. |

I'm 37 now, so I've had that bass for 18 years.
