Waiting for a Wal?

No. An American builder that shall remain nameless.

Tectonic Blue and Ebony (traded a red jazz for it)

The body on that fretless Jazz looks really interesting - what is that exactly?

A bit longer than 2023, but here is my collection, with a couple more possibilities.

That is an MJT body I believe - Got it from a T'ber here. That bass is 7.5 lbs because of the light body.

I picked up an Ibanez EHB1505MS-PLF which needs a proper set up (but I'm a little intimidated), and a few pedals:

Digitech Synth Bass Wah
EHX Bass Mono Synth
Red Witch Sub Octave Fuzz

I'll be replacing my Flower Pedal Hosta with either the Aguilar twin filter, or the Joshwah.

I also picked up an Eastman E10D, but I might be selling that in favor of my guild for bluegrass picking.

My 2023 bass acquisitions were zero, zilch, nada, bupkis. And 2024 is predicted to be the same.

‘Bupkis’? Now that’s a new one for me!

2023 saw the addition of just 2 cheap and, as it turned out, very cheerful basses. Fully funded by sale of several unused pedals. Gone are EHX Freeze, Vox StompLab, Digitech Bass Synth Wah, Boss CE-5, TC Corona Chorus, TC Helix Phaser, in exchange for:
#1: A used but newish Hofner Ignition Club. £225:

#2: A 1991 Fenix by Young Chang P/J (I picked this up in January but it was 'spotted' and my radar from December). £125:

With a bit of work both have taken really nice setups and play very well.
