What Kind of Bass Guitar do you Play (Re-loaded)? BE SURE TO REVOTE!

[micgtr71]

I have both a fretted and a fretless four string. Tried to mek the move to a 5 or a 6 but I cant get used to them.

[Beano_z]

Interesting vote. Amazing how many play 6 string fretted, even though I don't see that many around...

[Allard88]

I'm buying my first bass tomorrow. It will be a fretted 4 string.

[DaRQsiDe]

Can't do without the low B...

5 and 6 strings, both fretted and fretless :-)

[Swipter]

I really thought there would be more 5 string players.

Current stable (update):

Fender MIM Precision
Fender MIM Jazz V w/ Audere preamp and QuarterPounders
Ibanez SR 506
Lakland 55-02D
NS NXT 5
Samuel Shen 90

Trying to move some basses to make room for a fretless Lakland 55-02, JO5, or AJ5.

Maybe they are just playing low open chords on guitars...thinking how bassy this sounds! Wow!!!

I have 7 four stringers and one with 5.

Ken Smith BSR5-G,2 2010 Amer Jazz with Nordstrand NJ4SE pups, Geddy Lee Jazz. Music Man Bongo 4HH. My go to bass is the Bongo. That's what I have now. Gone through about 20 basses til I realized tone is in your hands. And the type of strings help. Started on 4. Went to 6. Back to 5. And now 4 string with Hipshot D Tuner.

Proud owner of an '82 Ibanez Blazer!

[5 Wire]

I play both kind. 5 string fretted and fretless.

[curbowkid]

I would vote but i cant on my phone
I currently rock a 6 string tuned EADGCF and a 7 string tuned BEADGCF

[Ben Mitchell]

Proud user of almost all types. Right now hanging on my wall is a four string fretless, a four string fretted, a 34" scale five string fretted, and a 35" scale six string fretted. Hopefully one day I can pickup a five and sixer fretless when the need arises!

[Scootbass1]

At present I have the following basses in my possession.
MIK Spector NS2000/4 fretted four string
SSD (Spector) NS-4CRFL Czech made fretless four string
MIK Waterstone TP8/32 fretted eight string medium (32") scale
USA Hamer B12A fretted 34" scale 12 string bass

Have owned several 5 and 6 string basses, fretted and fretless, yet I would pick up a four string about 90% of the time. So they ended up being dust collectors. The Spector basses are usually my backup basses. Play the eight most, I have become quite fond of the 32" scale.
Peace,
Mike
