Owned: Epiphone Cort Gibson Fender Tried: MusicMan Squier ... and most other I don't remember

I've owned 4 basses. My first was an Epiphone about 20 years ago but got stolen in'92. I started again in 2009 and got a Cort Action-A (nice), a Gibson Thunderbird (best I've ever played) and a Fender American Jazz.
