Fixed.

For what I usually play, great sonic versatility turns out to be more or less redundant.
I only need a good working sound. So as things stand now I could easily make do
with these three:

1 - MIJ P copy, ash/maple/rounds
2 - MIJ P copy, alder/rw/flats
3 - Reverend Mercalli

... or at a pinch, even any one of them.

I do have to admit that I might've overdone it since I ditched the ball-and-chain...

I'm lovin' that hippie-strip on the '62.

hippie-strip?

 

[GretschWretch]

hippie-strip?

Removing the original finish on a bass and clear-coating over it so the wood grain shows through. It became more common as the sixties progressed toward the seventies. This '62 is the earliest I've seen. The next earliest is the P belonging to Chuck Portz, the original bassist for the Turtles.

Ah, got it. My 65 Jazz is a stripper too

Well I own two basses, so it's not what three would I keep--but what would I get as my third bass?

Third bass!

 

[_Obra_]

Fender P with Flats
Fender P with Rounds
MM Stingray 4H

 

[Bass V]

I'm offing 2 dozen basses after not touching #2 for far too long, everything else is #3.

I don't want to live in a world where I can only have 3 basses.

^This^

Last week it was one bass limit. Did I miss the two limit?

 

[cyclopsbookworm]

AVRI P, Sadowsky Jazz, and my home made neck through. Sooo many I haven’t tried but with the new PayPal rules and used prices these days, who knows how many more I’ll try. Maybe it’s a sign to stop buying more and practice with what I have.

Dingwall Afterburner (main Bass)
Dingwall Combustion (backup)
Fender Precision fretless

I'd go with these three. Modified 2017 MIM Geddy Lee Jazz, 2015 Rickenbacker 4003 and 2020 EB MusicMan Stingray 5 HH. I've got the tonal range of the stuff I play covered with these three.

 

[Geddaric]

P, J, and PJ.

 

[TJL]

Alembic Scorpion, Alembic Balance K Fretless, 1961 Fender Precision.

For obvious reasons...

The first three I acquired:

If for some reason you were only allowed 3 basses, what would your 3 be and why?

Easy...my Thunderbird, Dan Armstrong, and , yeah, OK, a Fender, probably a Jazz Bass...

Fretted P Bass, Fretted Stingray or Sterling, and a Fretless J variant.
