    #2? What should I get?

    I'm currently on the never ending search for what should be my next bass. My #1 is a Fender Ultra Precision Bass which I love.

    What basses do you bring on tour.

    I'm heading out for a seven month contract on a cruise ship where I have to play a ton of different styles of music and I am trying to decide which basses to bring with me. I only have two spaces in my case and I am trying to decide if I want to bring essentially a second version of my main...
