Main?
Well, not main, since I primarily play 5 string.

But, when I can, I still use my:
1972 ash/maple Precision, it's twin fretless, and 1972 Telecaster.
The Tele has Been DarkStar'd, and, so has my 1974 Precision.

All over 30.

I am have an Ibanez MC924 from 1981 that I use a lot. It's the fretted version of the one used by Sting in the early '80's while he was in the Police. It's a bit beat, but still plays really well.

Still gigging my '76 4001. Sees action as my main bass at least a set every show, sometimes more depending on the setlist.

I have two main basses that I play about 50/50 at gigs, and one of them is older than I am.
