Cool lists here!!!

I'm glad I kinda had an idea of what my sound was before I got too deep into wanting to checkout or buy every new bass that comes out! haha!

My mom bought me a '74 Jazz as my first bass as a kid(in '78) and it's still the best bass I own!!!

Here's the list from there

1990 MusicMan Stingray 5
Japanese 60's reissue P-bass
Wasburn Bantam 5(mod with Demeter onboard pre)
Yamaha BBG5(mod with Bartolini jazz p/u's and Demeter onboard pre)
Warwick Corvette 5

When I became somewhat of a pro,I landed a couple of endorsements and so I took full advantage

Lakland basses as an artist
Joe Osborn Skyline 4
2-55-02(rosewood and maple fretboards)
Darryl Jones 5(one of the 1st 5 made!)
Bob Glaub P with flats
Joe Osborn U.S. 5(passive)
55-94 deluxe fretted(my main axe now)
55-94 deluxe fretless(plays like a dream and sounds even better!)
(I still own the Glaub,both 55-94's,and the Osborn 5)

Artist with Pavel basses
Pavel jazz Pro Custom 5

Once I found my sound,I stopped listening to other basses because I know how to get whatever I need with the basses I have! Thank God!! haha!

I'm looking for some type of hollowbody and I'll be done buying any more basses.I would suggest all my bass family to find that sound and stick with it...it'll save you tons of money!!

Peace,
JC
