A bit of fun for a Friday.

I thought this might be a fun idea for a thread. Whether I'm right or not remains to be seen

Ok. So, here is a photo of my three basses.

I'll operate on a point scoring system. If you can guess...

- which I think is the ugliest -------------- 1 point
- which I think is the nicest to play ------- 1 point
- which was the most expensive ---------- 1 point
- which one is the odd one out for strings - 1 point
- which I think is the nicest to look at ----- 1 point
- which is my favourite overall ------------ 1 point
- an extra point each for the make and model of each bass (possible 3 points)
- and finally, tell me which is your favourite - if it matches my favourite - 1 point

Total of 10 points available.

There's no prize for the winner, other than being viewed as a legend in my eyes

Why do you have 3 virtually identical basses?? Unless that middle one is lined fretless ('cause I can't tell for sure), it looks to me like you've got 1 keeper and 2 nice opportunities to diversify. Wouldn't you rather have a P, a fretless J, and a Stingray H, than 3 Ps? I know I would ('cause I do)!
